美军将向海地地震的幸存者运送5万台手提收音机。美国国防部星期三说，预计收音机将在本周晚些时候抵达。国防部说，联合特遣部队之后将把这些收音机发放给公众。
军方说，幸存者可以使用收音机收听新闻以及国际救灾努力的重要信息。军方还表示，军队正与海地政府紧密合作，在FM92.4兆赫和104.1兆赫以及AM1030千赫向幸存者广播公共安全信息。这些收音机采用手摇式，由太阳能而不是电池供电。
The U.S. military is delivering 50,000 hand-held radios to Haiti for survivors of the recent earthquakes.The U.S. Department of Defense said Wednesday it expects the radios to arrive later this week. It said the joint task force will then distribute the radios to the public.
The military said survivors can use the radios to receive news and important information concerning international relief efforts. It also says its forces are working closely with the Haitian government to broadcast public safety messages for survivors on FM frequencies of 92.4 mhz and 104.1 mhz and the AM radio frequency of 1030 khz.The radios are powered by solar energy and hand cranks instead of batteries, a potentially helpful asset in a nation short on basic supplies.
