Message-ID: By LEILA MILLER, RONG-GONG LIN II NOV. 5, 2019 8:03 AM When Ted Atz, a 75-year-old retiree in Marin County, learned that his power would go out during the Kincade fire, he texted his loved ones that he might lose cell service. He was right. For four long days, Atz couldn?t make or receive calls. He?d drive around his hometown of San Anselmo, hoping to find better reception. He had no luck and was frustrated by the knowledge that if he suffered some kind of medical or other emergency, he couldn?t reach 911. ?I would have liked to let family know that I was OK,? Atz said... ...People who couldn?t track down loved ones during the Kincade fire had to result to an old-school approach: the radio. Listeners called into KBBF-FM (89.1), a multilingual radio station in Santa Rosa that broadcast news in Spanish and indigenous languages, hoping for word from families that had gone quiet during the outages. Rafael Vazquez, a KBBF host, suggested listeners check in with the county and update their status as safe in case their relatives were looking for them. ?People would say, ?I cannot get a hold of a sister, I don?t know where my mom or my dad went, we were supposed to connect but now I?m not able to connect with them,?? he said. Sofia Olmedo, 32, had been keeping her sister-in-law updated on her whereabouts as she fled the city of Windsor with her two children, husband and other relatives. When they found refuge at a ranch in Napa County, owned by her husband?s employer, Olmedo?s phone lost service. She stopped receiving government emergency alerts. ?I felt sad and frustrated that I couldn?t call to tell her that I was OK,? she said. Her husband was eventually able to get in touch with her sister-in-law using his phone, which operated under another carrier, and Olmedo used a solar-powered radio to listen to news from KBBF about the fire...

"We find in this world that it can be a quick business to destroy livelihoods and cultures, creating traumas that ring down through generations. The much harder job is to heal, and that requires building relations in community. "Birgitte Jallov of Denmark has helped build community radios in Africa for decades, and measures their impact. She told me in an interview that the number one change people attributed to the radio in all communities she studied was: 'Women are being beaten up less... We're being beaten up less.' Privileging women's voices, ideas, skills, and solidarity has done that." This is just a little section of Frieda's talk back in 2014. Well worth repeating. And the entire speech is well worth reading. Have a happy long holiday weekend Radio Heads!
