Native American communities depend on radio (Score 5, Informative)

It might seem like an irrelevant technology, but rural communities and in particular Native communities depend on radio, especially for emergency management. The non-profit, Native Public Media, states: Native radio and television stations play a vital role in promoting the safety, sovereignty, and stability of Native communities. These broadcast facilities provide vital information upon which Tribal citizens can make informed decisions. Stations share this information through storytelling, hyperlocal news, civic engagement, and emergency communications for predominately rural and remote tribal lands. Fifty-eight Tribal radio stations, and three television stations, benefit from NPM programs in regulatory compliance, governance, technical assistance, training, policymaking, and operations development. https://www.nativepublicmedia....
