In order to strengthen information transmission during disasters, Isesaki City began test broadcasts of a disaster prevention radio using the local FM station "Isesaki FM" on the 4th.

The city is lending 1,090 radios free of charge to people requiring assistance with evacuation and people with disabilities. The system automatically plays emergency broadcasts when a J-Alert or special warning information is heard, even if the radio is on standby or listening to another station.

Some glitches occurred during the first test broadcast, and a retest is scheduled for the 18th. Going forward, test broadcasts will be conducted on the first Monday of each month at 11:00 AM.
