Voices of Echo
“ECHO played a key role in educating Minnesota’s diverse communities about the first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). Ensuring that the public understood the importance of the test and did not become alarmed required a major public awareness campaign. ECHO and the Minnesota Broadcasters Association collaborated to produce a series of radio and TV Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in a variety of languages. As a result, Minnesotan’s were well informed and well prepared on test day.”
Jim D.
President and CEO of the Minnesota Broadcasters Association
Watch for Flooding
| In Springtime when snow is melting, communities along or near rivers often face the potential danger of the river flooding. In addition to being an emergency situation, floods bring with them many health and safety issues. ECHO has created a number of video and audio resources to help communities be ready for a flood and stay healthy and safe during a flood. | ![]() |
