Jum'at, 21 November 2008

The spreading of bird flu (avian influenza -- AI) from one area to the other area happened quickly. So was needed by the fast response also from the community and government apparatus. If the delay of the handling happening, the case of bird flu was increasingly wide and was not controlled. Therefore, was needed by an information system that could shorten the distance hindrance, time, and even the bureaucracy to get the response as quickly as possible. Kurniadi from the Network of Radio of Komunitas Lampung (JRKL) in his release stated the information system that will be developed enabled the involvement of many sides, the community, the community's radio (rakom), and his network, the regional government, and NGO or the Non-Governmental Organization.
