On December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale caused a giant wave that devastated coastal regions of several countries. Aceh, the western most province in Indonesia, was the region worst affected by the tsunami. Along hundreds of kilometers of coastline in this province 180,000 people were killed, and houses and buildings were flattened, leaving more than 500,000 people homeless. The damage to the communication infrastructure isolated devastated areas. Donor organizations, domestic and international, built community radio stations to help people access information. Since the tsunami disaster in Aceh, community radio has been used in Indonesia by people in disaster situations for natural disaster management at the grassroots level [ 1 ]. Lintas Merapi Community Radio [ 2 ] is an example of a grassroots people’s initiative that has used local resources to manage and disseminate information in their environment.
