  World Radio Day 2016: Live Coverage of the Napa Earthquake in California

http://podcast.tucradio.org/2016/01/world-radio-day-2016-live-coverage-of-the-napa-earthquake-in-california/

This is the story of a community that has built their station in 
response to a devastating fire in their own signal area at the Point 
Reyes Peninsula – determined to be ready for the next emergency. KWMR in 
Point Reyes Station has been on the air since 1995 with a rich offering 
of music and public affairs. But – more than most other community radio 
stations - they have built infrastructure, trained staff and volunteers 
specifically to respond to emergencies. They coordinate with all the 
local emergency services to be able to help in times of need.

At 3:20 am on a Sunday morning in August 2014 a 6.0 earthquake hit Napa 
County, less than an hour north of San Francisco. At least 15,000 
residents lost power and most of them also lost the use of cell phones 
and internet. With many cell phones now reduced to an expensive 
flashlight people located their radio – and heard only pre-programmed 
music from all commercial stations – with one exception, KWMR, a small, 
non-commercial, community radio station far away from the epicenter.

You will hear some of the call-ins to the station that were recorded 
that night and an interview with the station engineer Richard Dillman. 
This is an inspiring model and blueprint for any radio station 
considering building an emergency response system in their signal area.
