WHO IS KYAQ AND WHY DO THEY CARE?
Since January, 2014, KYAQ Radio 91.7 FM has been the only local Non-Profit Community Radio outreach serving Lincoln County’s listening public, both residents and visitors, from Newport to Lincoln City to Burnt Woods to Yachats to marine areas within its range. As a 501(c) 3 organization, KYAQ serves the common good, focusing on the news, informational/educational needs and UNMET NEEDS of our unique coastal region.
Additionally, KYAQ enhances Community Building and the Economic Development of Lincoln County; directly reaching out to tourists, visitors, workers from out of the area, and others traveling though, as well as promoting our welcoming and inclusion of folks from all walks of life.
Today, Lincoln County faces a CRISIS in Emergency Communications. Our current Emergency Systems designed to immediately ALERT our community and TEACH what to do in the event of disasters such as Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, wildfires, flooding, severe winds and weather, hazardous waste spills, etc. are overly dependent on electrical energy, cell-phone towers and technology, and internet systems such as VOIP/WIFI/SMART-PHONE networks (with many rural areas Dead-Zones for such signals). Reports indicate the EAS system in Lincoln County has even apparently failed to conduct its Required Monthly Tests since last spring....and serious questions remain unanswered!!! This summer the Russian tsunami alert, as well as dangerous riptide and sneaker wave alerts, failed to reach many Lincoln County resident subscribers---INCLUDING Oregon House Representative David Gomberg (see Article below), while tourists, campers, fishermen, children, elders, people with disabilities, homeless people, and other vulnerable populations were IGNORED entirely. Similar EAS mistakes resulted in mass casualties in Texas less than a month earlier.
Additionally, Lincoln County has been facing the decommissioning of its Coast Guard Station and Rescue Helicopter, loss of Real-Time Tsunami Alerts, and massive changes, if not loss entirely, of FEMA support for emergency planning and management.
