新西兰：政府拨款30万新西兰元为10家地区独立电台装设备用发电机 保障应急信息
新西兰区域发展部长 Shane Jones 与应急管理与恢复部长 Mark Mitchell 11月3日宣布，从区域基础设施基金（RIF）拨款30万新西兰元，支持「地区应急广播」计划，提升独立广播机构的韧性，确保地区社区在电力、互联网或电信服务中断时仍能获得重要应急信息。
这笔资金将用于在全国10家独立拥有的地区电台安装备用发电机及配套基础设施，参与电台包括 Coromandel FM 等。工程由独立媒体协会与参与的地区广播机构协调推进。
两名部长表示，地区电台是许多社区在紧急情况下的第一信息来源，备用电源能让电台在主电网与通信网络受损时继续播出官方应急信息。
New Zealand: Government Grants $300,000 for Backup Generators at 10 Regional Radio Stations to Protect Emergency Information
New Zealand's Regional Development Minister Shane Jones and Emergency Management and Recovery Minister Mark Mitchell announced on November 3 a $300,000 grant from the Regional Infrastructure Fund (RIF) to support the Regional Emergency Broadcasting programme, investing in the resilience of independent radio broadcasters so regional communities can access vital emergency information when electricity, internet or telecommunications services are disrupted.
The funding will support the installation of back-up generators and associated infrastructure at 10 independently owned regional radio stations throughout the country, including Coromandel FM. The work will be co-ordinated by the Independent Media Association in partnership with the participating regional broadcasters.
The ministers said regional radio is a first source of information for many communities in an emergency, and backup power will let stations keep broadcasting official emergency information when the main grid and communications networks are damaged.
