Dealing with the media

Disasters act like a magnet for the media. In today’s world of 24-hour news coverage, this plays an important part in shaping public opinion. It is essential to establish a working relationship between the media and the rescue teams. With careful handling the media can become a powerful ally and play a constructive role in identifying problems, galvanising aid and keeping the public informed.
