When Disaster Strikes, Radio Stands Strong!

There are so many great sessions at Radiodays North America in May, including a session about how radio plays a vital role in the community and further when disaster strikes.

 Wednesday, May 7th, 10:00 am.  The LA Fires – Anatomy of a Natural Disaster

In a world where natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe — from hurricanes and floods to earthquakes and wildfires — one thing remains constant: radio’s vital role in keeping communities informed and connected when it matters most.

When cell towers go down and power grids fail, AM/FM radio stands as a beacon of resilience. It’s often the final frontier for local news, emergency alerts, and critical information when digital communication channels are compromised.

At Radiodays North America, we’re shining a spotlight on radio’s unwavering presence in times of crisis with an eye-opening session about the recent LA fires, you will discover how broadcasters became lifelines, providing real-time updates and guiding communities through chaos. Hear first hand from those who were on the air, delivering vital information while everything around them burned. 

The lessons learned from these experiences aren’t just inspiring — they’re essential for anyone in the industry. Whether you’re behind the mic or behind the scenes, this session will give you key insights into disaster response strategies, equipping you to better serve your audience when they need you the most.

Join us at Radiodays North America and see why, when disaster strikes, radio is more than just a medium — it’s a lifeline.
