Pakistan: Emergency/Broadcast Radio for Quake Survivors Urgently Needed · Global Voices
Angelo Embuldeniya

Internews, a leading international media development organisation, has called for immediate action to improve the information flow to victims of the huge earthquake which hit Pakistan on 8 October, leaving over 53,000 dead and up to 3 million homeless. Local media in the disaster zone has been badly affected, with public and commercial radio broadcast stations and newspaper printing and distribution facilities largely destroyed.
Internews has already dispatched a radio production unit with a team of 12 reporters to produce programmes highlighting the immediate needs for the people in quake-hit areas in the local languages. The programmes are being aired through a private FM station in Abbottabad city in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), with a signal that can reach almost all of the tremor-hit zone of northern Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
The major needs for broadcast/media infrastructure, production & training support are as follows:
-  transmitters, antennas, mobile radio studios, and generators
–  minidisk recorders, portable computers, satellite phones, transportation, and technical support
– field & mobile production equipment
If you are able to assist with this need or if you know someone who can help out with getting these emergency radio sets please contact Adnan Rehmat  at +92(300) 850 6354 or contact the Internews Office in Pakistan at +92(51) 287 7984. Alternatively you may send an email to Adnan or Ivan Sigal.
