The Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) is encouraging media professionals and organisations across the region to participate in an upcoming virtual workshop focused on strengthening the resilience of media and information systems during emergencies and disasters.

Hosted jointly by the Public Media Alliance and UNESCO, the workshop titled “Disaster-ready media and information ecosystems” will introduce participants to the Model Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan for Media Institutions while exploring how media organisations can sustain access to reliable, public interest information during times of crisis.

The session is particularly relevant for broadcasters, journalists, newsroom managers, communications professionals, regulators, and media stakeholders operating in disaster-prone regions such as the Caribbean, where resilient and trusted information systems play a critical role before, during, and after emergencies.
