During our recent response to Burma, our operations were hampered by not having adequate intelligence from the disaster site (CNN and BBC were excluded, the telephone system collapsed during the initial phases of the disaster, thus no email). As a result of the Burma experience, we are setting up three HF radio “listening posts”, one at our Alexandria depot, one at our secondary storage site in rural NSW and one in Darwin. 
The purpose of these installations will be to monitor short-wave broadcasts from the country involved, as well as those from neighbouring countries. 
We believe that we may be able to also receive “long haul” frequencies used by missions, NGO’s and the UN throughout South-East Asia. Thank you to Emmerson Communications for a communications shelter and Thank you to Motorola Australia for a Rohdes-Schwarz receiver unit

ODRI was able to send a response from our stores that are supplied from our on-going processing operations of materials supplied by our donors.      |
