GREAT BAY:--– The Emergency Radio Broadcast System will be tested on Tuesday, August 18 at 7.15am. Residents can tune in to 107.9 FM.
Radio listeners will first hear a tone followed by a voice message and ending with a tone.
The emergency radio broadcast system is part of the Island Government’s back-up communication system to be used in times of disaster.
The system would be used to communicate with the community after a hurricane strike. Emergency management officials including the Chairman of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Governor Franklyn Richards, would be able to address the nation with respect to issues related to pre and post storm and hurricane strikes.
The emergency test is also being simulcast via the other participating radio stations.
