| Description: | The goals of this study were to establish an informational system of Spanish-language media in California, assess the status of existing linkages between the state and the Spanish-language media for dealing with emergencies, and recommend ways to improve the state’s ability to use Latino-oriented media to communicate with Latino’s regarding policy concerns. Two handbooks aimed at improving communication with Latinos were published as a part of the study. Additionally, Spanish-language television and radio were surveyed, particularly during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Following the assessments, numerous recommendations were made to improve English- and Spanish-language broadcast media for future disasters. |
