"When a large-scale natural disaster occurs, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, hurricane, or Covid-19, there will be "maldistribution or gap" in various aspects. Disparities in the shelter, gaps in aid or food items, gaps in access to health care, vaccine gaps, and so on. Inequality creates differences that are not found in everyday life, and these differences will lead to the destruction of the community. The most serious issue is a lack of information. It is critical that people can get accurate information fairly when recovering from a disaster because it is critical in solving all inequality problems. Community radio can be a real solution in this case." (Back cover)
