Local Music, Community News & Public Safety for the San Juan Islands
Layers of Public Safety
At the StayAlert/Orcas Radio studios in downtown Eastsound, we gather Emergency Alert information from Local, State and Federal agencies. Our staff also interacts with the Island community to be aware of local issues.
From High atop Mt Constitution, we broadcast these alerts with 63,000 watts of FM power.
​
We provide specialized radio receivers to display this information in the event that we lose the power/Intenet link to the mainland.

When disaster strikes terrestrial FM will be there
Terrestrial radio stations have robust emergency infrastructure such as backup towers, transmitters & power generators to make sure the signal is "always on" the air.
StayAlert has applied for an Eastsound radio station at 102.3 FM
Future plans include installing four additional 102.3 transmitters
StayAlert creates regional partnerships
We partner with a neighboring Class C station KWPZ (63,000 watts) to regionally extend the StayAlert data services beyond our Islands to the mainland including nearby Tribal lands.
Green dot the new 102.3 FM (Eastsound) - Yellow is StayAlert HQ - Red is KWPZ FM (63,000 watts)
Additional transmitters suggested for Olga, Doe Bay, Deer Harbor & the ferry terminal.
Note the directional pattern to keep our Canadian friends happy
