📋 Tender Overview
The removal of the obligation to carry radio may have an impact on emergency communication. Hazard communication is based on multichannelling. Radio is one of the channels on which emergency warnings are transmitted. As a result of the amendment, cable radio listeners would have to use an alternative means of distribution to receive the radio.
It is estimated that the majority of cable radio listeners would switch to receiving radio via terrestrial distribution when radio distribution ends in cable television networks. According to general official guidelines, in order to prepare for various exceptional situations and disturbances, it is recommended that all households acquire a battery-operated radio with spare batteries.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications considers it essential that a project to develop hazard information be launched as soon as possible under the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for hazard communication as a whole.
