CBAA Submissions

Community radio stations play a critical role in communities, particularly regional communities, both during natural disasters and in the recovery. These submissions highlight the role played by community broadcasters during the 2019-20 bushfire emergencies and other natural disasters; the challenges stations faced both during and in the aftermath of these natural disasters; the Victorian emergency broadcasting model and how it could be adapted as part of a national approach; and the need for involvement and integration of the community radio sector in the Government’s recovery programs and natural disaster planning.
