IRDR PROJECT REPORT

The Trial of International Radio for Disaster Relief (IRDR) during the Media Summit on Climate Change, ICTs and Disaster Risk Reduction 5-6 June 2014, Jakarta, Indonesia

This is for the first time ever that international radio stations have volunteered to demonstrate that shortwave broadcasting is capable of communicating relevant information to the affected populations immediately after a disaster strikes. Receivers are light- weight and cheap and the technology is unique in being completely disaster resistant: the transmitting facilities can be hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away from the disaster zone suffering from a total communication and information blackout, in case something unexpected might happen.

Special transmissions in English or Mandarin or Indonesian targeting Indonesia (in UTC) on June 5-6, 2014: 

Audio files are all monitored in Calcutta on Sangean 909 with external antenna.
