The team of Braidwood FM undertook some much-needed training in Emergency Preparedness.

This training provided by The Community Media Training Organisation (CMTO) and facilitated by Martin Corben and covered;

• Understanding emergency broadcasting
• Planning for Emergency Broadcasts
• Understanding Emergency agencies and critical information
• Understanding how to prepare content before, during and after emergencies

It was a great way to see what we needed to do to prepare for future emergencies.

We also had a visit from Matthew Talbot of the SES and Tim Thisleton of Fire and Rescue to give us a talk on their interactions with Community radio.
