What would you do if all of Ostrava suddenly went dark right now?

No signal. No data. No news on your phone. Just darkness and one question: what happens next?

Emergencies are no longer just the stuff of disaster movies. Blackouts, extreme weather, evacuations, and floods are part of today’s reality. That is why Czech Radio is bringing a discussion to Colours of Ostrava that may one day prove more useful than any survival tutorial on the internet.

How does emergency broadcasting work? Why does radio remain one of the most reliable sources of information when everything else fails? What should you have prepared at home? What should you take with you in an evacuation? And how can you help people around you when things start to go wrong?

No fearmongering. No disaster scenarios. Just practical advice, authentic experience, and the energy that belongs both to a festival and to the world we live in today.

Sharing first-hand experience from real emergency situations will be: Martin Pařízek za Český rozhlas a Jiří Studnička z Generálního ředitelství HZS ČR.

Join us and find out whether we are truly prepared for a world that can change in a matter of minutes.
