Mission
In Minnesota and nationwide, emergency alert messages are broadcast only in English, despite the growing population of immigrants and refugees. Emergency responders, and public health and safety officials have long recognized that this results in a critical communications gap - leaving English as a Second Language (ESL) communities especially vulnerable in times of crisis and disengaged from resilience efforts. Twin Cities PBS (TPT) has launched TPT NOW, a gap-filling, 24/7 broadcast channel dedicated to emergency preparedness and response. TPT NOW is the nation's first broadcast channel positioned to deliver real-time, multi-lingual emergency alerts (Somali, Hmong, Spanish and English).What We Do
TPT NOW reaches more than one million households in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs includingpart of Wisconsin. Viewers can watch Channel 2.5 Over-The-Air (OTA) or cable TV. Programming is provided by public, non-profit and philanthropic partners. WE NEED PARTNERS AND CONTENT! Learn more at tpt.org/post/introducing-tpt-now/
