Four Fukuoka-based private broadcasters and NHK have signed an agreement to share helicopter footage during major earthquakes like the Nankai Trough earthquake. This collaboration aims to enhance disaster reporting by efficiently covering tsunami and damage across Kyushu and Shikoku coasts. The broadcasters will divide the coverage areas, with four private stations handling eastern Kyushu and NHK covering Shikoku. This strategy ensures wider and more effective aerial reporting. The five stations will conduct annual joint training to ensure seamless cooperation during disasters. Source: NHK
