Local radio stations in Haiti aired a Creole-language humanitarian information broadcast produced by Internews yesterday in collaboration with a growing alliance of humanitarian aid and media assistance providers. The program, Nouvelles-Utiles (News You Can Use) will be produced daily and distributed to local radio stations, which are eager to air it.

Thursday’s program included stories refuting rumors that there was an imposed curfew in Port-au-Prince, and notice of water distribution locations, bank re-openings, and waste management services. Information from the Red Cross discouraged hasty and uncoordinated disposal of bodies, and dispelled rumors that dead bodies cause disease.
