99.3 County FM Emergency Preparedness Survey Phase Two
When emergencies and disasters strike, radio has a strong and specific role to play in keeping the community up to date.

As an essential service to Prince Edward County, 99.3 County FM is constantly working to improve our ability to serve the residents and visitors of PEC.

We launched our first survey last winter and found that 64% of participants didn't have an emergency readiness plan and nearly half of participants did not own a battery powered radio.

Past survey participants say that just completing this simple survey inspired them to take positive actions to better protect themselves and their families.

IF you have done this survey before please feel free to do it again to see how you may have improved.

IF you are new to the survey, terrific, we  hope it helps you plan and better consider what you would need to do and have on hand in the event of an emergency.

Despite Covid 19 we have done out utmost over the past year to develop an Emergency Handbook, train volunteers, coordinate our efforts with emergency services in PEC, and acquire the tools we need to broadcast direct from our transmitter. We have received a contribution from the Community Radio Fund of Canada (CFRC) that has allow us to improve our ability to prepare and respond to public safety issues.
