LPFM Importance in Katrina relief
The Prometheus Radio project, wrote an article that argued the importance of Low Power FM by showing how affective LPFM was in aiding the community in the midst of Hurricane Katrina. Prometheus goes on to not only show the impact LPFM had on this disaster, but also how improving LPFM would better prepare the world when natural catastrophes happen. It is necessary in cases like Hurricane Katrina, to have a reliable and timely way to communicate with the public, however, often in cases like these, the public often does not is informed. LPFM can step in as a local source, when the major corporations lose site of basic information the local public needs to know.
