In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Harlem broadcasters affiliated with community radio station WHCR 90.3 FM took action to build a communications network that can withstand widespread shutdowns and keep local residents informed with essential specifics in real time. In the latest episode of "From City to the World," co-creator of that network Stuart Reid details the launch of WHCR's Emergency Broadcast Team (WHCREBT) and specifies the technology and community training that keeps residents — including many in public housing — ready and connected. In another example of education and empowerment, The City College of New York (CCNY), home of WHCR, maintains an ongoing program of safety trainings on campus and in nearby neighborhoods, as described by Specialist Taish Rochester of the college's Department of Public Safety.
