First Response Radio (FRR) empowers 2 way
communication, via radio, with affected ​communities
​ in the immediate aftermath of disasters. ​

​"Some people have argued that radio is a dying medium, but it’s only become more popular ​and will continue to be a powerful tool for
​community-based communications ​in and outside of humanitarian contexts."     Leonard Doyle, Director of Media and  Communications, IOM
