DIRS Webcast Archive Now Available
On Tuesday July 14, 2009, NAB hosted a 30-minute live webcast on the FCC's Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS). DIRS is a voluntary, Web-based system that broadcasters can use to report their operational status and potentially locate critical resources they may lack during emergencies. The FCC, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and local public safety officials rely on the information in DIRS to identify and potentially help broadcast stations in need of fuel, generators and other needed equipment during emergencies. NAB encourages all broadcasters to sign up for DIRS. The webcast is archived for future use and available for a full year here. For more information and to sign up for DIRS, click here.
