Radio Dramas on Disasters Still
Popular
 The
radio drama Hurricane Season (Tiempos de Huracanes)—launched
in October 2002 and broadcast by more than 50 radio stations
in Central America—weaves the tale of how a community’s
level of preparedness helps determine the impact a flood will
have on the residents. This radio drama is being rebroadcast
for the 2003 hurricane season in Central America and is also
reaching audiences in Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican
Republic. The success of this endeavor has led to the production
of a new program Réplicas en el Corazon (Tremors of
the Heart).
The three stories of
this new radio drama unfold in the wake of earthquakes, landslides
and volcanic eruptions and are geared around several central
themes: raising the awareness of communities about the natural
hazards that surround them, coexisting with risks and decision
making. The new radio drama will begin airing before the end
of this year. For more information, contact elina.palm@eird.org
