It goes without saying governmental and non-governmental organizations, working to meet IDPs crisis in Pakistan need to establish and strengthen working relationships with the Power99. Power99 has potential and experience of “acting to sensitize the mitigation organizations and to “prove itself a reliable source of usable information for crisis mitigation. One vital factor in Power99’s effective crisis communications is the creation and repetition of precise, effective messages. Such messages had empowered people to take practical steps to protect themselves from several hazards and to demand attention by private and governmental organizations to crisis prevention, mitigation, and response. The absence of radio in crisis mitigation have demonstrable failing impact on the recognition by government officials, crisis mitigation and funding organization to realize that there is much that can be done to protect both lives and property before and during a crisis. Power99 FM is committed to tone down IDPs crisis in Pakistan. There are more than 2,000,000 IDPs in different camps and almost equal numbers outside the camps. Sources say, millions are on the move. Power99 has already launched its Crisis Mitigation Transmission (CMT) to facilitate national and international organizations working to alleviate the pangs of displacement!
