In emergencies, it is critical that crisis-affected communities have access to information and life-saving communications to them to better understand issues that affect their lives and to make the informed decisions for themselves and their communities. Communications with Communities (CwC) is an emerging field in humanitarian response that seeks to address this information gap.

This video shares the story of Fred Padernos, station manager at Radyo Abante in Tacloban, the Filipino city hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan in Nov 2013 as he works to provide vital information and communications to his community after the typhoon.

Three and a half years after the devastating 2010 earthquake, there are still 279,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) or 71,000 households remaining in 352 IDP sites and camp-like settlements throughout Haiti. This is according to IOM's latest quarterly Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) for Haiti. Even though there has been an 82% decrease in the total number of displaced families and a 77% reduction in the number of IDP sites since the disaster, the remaining IDPs are still vulnerable to this year's hurricane season.
