Community radio to support early warning and early action
We can use community radio programmes for a community-based early warning, where the community owns the process of establishing early warning systems before experts come in. The media has to be a partner, not just an afterthought. In the case of Zimbabwe most media on response and voices are male-focused, whereas female voices rarely heard. Capacity of media needs to be built to report on disasters and they have key role to play in sharing preparedness and early warning information.
