John Cummings III, a spokesman for Oahu Civil Defense, said his agency is doing what it can to ensure it can get the word out to the non-English speaking communities - both before the next disaster occurs and when it hits. A key partner in that effort is KNDI radio 1270 AM, which carries programs in no less than 11 languages. Cummings said emergency public service announcements, explaining to people what to do during disaster situations, have been recorded in a variety of languages including Chinese, Japanese, Samoan, Korean, Ilocano and Tagalog, so that they can run when the time comes.
