Presenting a World Radio Day Minute. Proclaimed in 2011 by UNESCO and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as a UN International Day, February 13 is World Radio Day…

In times of emergency, such as natural disasters or the destruction of war, we are reminded of the fragility of our modern infrastructure. The public - dependent on the electric grid, the internet and the computer – is vulnerable to breakdowns in communication. That’s why AM/FM radio has been called the first responder of media. It is to the advantage of everyone, including governments, to maintain and protect emergency radio frequencies for the public dissemination of vital information. When the lights go out and the internet shuts down – an increasingly common occurrence - broadcast radio serves as an invaluable lifeline. Be sure your home and car are equipped at all times with a self-powered portable radio and fresh batteries. This has been a World Radio Day minute from UNESCO.
