ABC Emergency Broadcasting Guidance

We've partnered with the ABC Emergency team to produce guidance material and audio stings to assist community broadcasters and their audience in times of disaster. Members can find the audio stings and guidance material on the CBAA Online Community – a free, private and secure forum – here.

CBAA Online Emergency Broadcasting Course

The course will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and competency to be better equipped and ready for the next emergency broadcast, should you choose to take on the role of an emergency broadcaster. The course is designed for both station managers, and for individual volunteers and broadcasters.

You'll learn about:

  • How to put together your emergency broadcast plan by identifying the government and agency resources you should look out for, and the risks within your area.
  • What sort of ‘emergency broadcast’ station you think you should be, could be or want to be.
  • How messages are constructed, what sort of information they should contain, and when to broadcast them.
  • The mental challenges and coping strategies for broadcasters and stations involved in emergency broadcasting.
  • And more!
