For the fifth year UNESCO convenes a facilitation meeting on Action Line C9 �Media� in its capacity of being the �facilitator�. The meeting will report on updates of the Action Line outcomes since last the facilitation meeting and will therefore focus debates on the specific theme of �Community Media for Disaster Preparedness�.

Given community media�s big role in disaster preparedness and reduction, the meeting will bring speakers from SAKS (Soci�t� d�Animation et de Communication Sociale) and AMARC (World Association of Community Radio) to share their experience in Haiti, Chile and other regions, in order to trigger discussion on how to build community media and provide vital news and information to keep citizens informed of the public response to disaster and to assist in obtaining access to aid and support.


*English & French interpretation will be made available.
