I help operate a low-power FM radio station serving a small area in a major west coast city. Our broadcast area encompasses about 200k people, although very few of them are aware of our existence, in all probability.
In the event of a big quake, we could provide hyper-local news and status updates on infrastructure, public safety, and community services, to anybody with an FM radio.
Except, I'm not sure how we would KNOW anything!
Is there an existing emergency/crisis communication hub that would serve as an information clearinghouse/curator, where we could participate as both consumers and providers of information during the crisis?
