SAFER Community Radio Conference Scholarship Application

CBI member stations are eligible to apply for the grant that would cover the costs of attending the SAFER intensive.

Hurricanes, fires, blizzards, chemical spills, floods, earthquakes—is your station ready to provide critical public service in a time of critical public need? The SAFER project has created a detailed guide for stations to develop their own emergency readiness plans, plus digital tools for station websites.

This Intensive is for stations that have started work on their plan. It is very interactive. We will work with plans from a variety of stations—different sizes, different kinds of markets. We will workshop the plans, help you solve problems that have you stumped and help you move forward.

You will have opportunities to pick the brains of and share ideas with people from other community and public radio stations.

Who should attend this Intensive? The staff person who is most involved with and responsible for developing your station’s emergency preparedness plan.

This Intensive is supported by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The SAFER project is offering 3 scholarships of $1000 each to 3 stations who wish to attend the SAFER Intensive on Saturday June 12, 2010 in St. Paul, Minnesota at the NFCB Community Radio Conference. The money may be used to cover travel, hotel, registration, meals.

To be considered for a scholarship, station must have begun work on creating their emergency readiness plan.

Applications must be received by April 9. All applicants will be notified by April 16th. Scholarship recipients will be reimbursed after the SAFER Intensive. Applications for the scholarship.
