Cyclone Ditwah: When All Else Failed, Radio Worked
Operating under challenging circumstances; including prolonged rain, power outages, difficult access routes, and extended operational hours, our volunteers established and maintained communication links that bridged affected regions with coordination centres, ensuring that vital information continued to flow when it mattered most.
Their efforts were not only technical, but humanitarian; driven by a deep commitment to public service.
