Radio
When there is danger in the Netherlands, the government informs you of the developments of the incident or crisis and the actions you should take in various ways. The government communicates through websites, social media or the (regional) public broadcasters on radio and television.
If the power goes down and an Internet connection is no longer possible, the regional public broadcaster can still continue to broadcast via radio. Therefore, we also recommend to have a radio in the emergency kit in the house.
This could be a battery-operated radio or a digital radio (DAB+). If you have a digital radio, check that it also has FM frequencies. Then you can be sure that during an emergency situation, you will stay informed and be notified by the authorities. Even if there is no power or Internet connection.
Radio station
Every region has its own radio station and FM frequency. Check the overview for the frequency in your region. You can already tune your radio to the right frequency. A DAB radio automatically receives the regional broadcaster of the region.
