After the Black Saturday fires, Radio Mansfield sought to formalise it’s ties with local emergency services and in March 2011 became an accredited Emergency Broadcaster. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed that provides procedures and guidelines describing how we inform the public in emergency situations. A considerable effort has gone into training our presenters and in ensuring our technical systems are built with redundancy so they are as resilient as possible. With help from sponsors and the community, we have been able to provide generators for our studio and transmission sites so that we can continue to transmit during power failures.
Below are some links to Community and Emergency Services that we have found useful:
