First non-public test of the ASA warning message in Czechia
Alerting the public to situations that pose a threat to health and safety is a duty and a long-standing part of broadcasting – the reach and immediacy of the media, especially radio, which people listen to at home, at work, and on the road, combined with a generally high level of trust and very high reliability, make radio an excellent platform for warning the population in crisis situations.
