Radio Stations in Kyushu
In the event of a major disaster affecting American citizens in western Japan, the Consulate may use Kyushu International FM ("Love FM") as one means to disseminate information in English. Although this radio station does not reach all eight prefectures in this consular district, it does reach much of the population of Kyushu and Yamaguchi. The radio frequencies for Kyushu International FM are as follows:
