At a time when the kingdom attended strong weather problems accompanied by snowfall, strong winds and heavy thunderstorms, it is noted that it is not a complete absence of public media of its role in the warning of citizens and informing them of the potential risks of this storm, which raises several questions about the extent of the official media provision in the treatment of these exceptional cases.
Official warnings in the middle of an ignorant media
The Ministry of Equipment and Water has issued the General Directorate of Meteorology of Warning Bulletins in which it warns against a strong air storm which will affect several regions from Friday evening from March 7 to Monday, 2025. These disorders include dense snowfall with a thickness of 60 cm, 130 km / h strong winds, and heavy rains in certain areas.
However, despite the severity of these weather forecasts, television channels and public radio stations have not launched the allocation of private newsletters or urgent coverage to alert citizens, satisfied to broadcast normal news without paying enough attention to the storm.
Citizens use social media
In light of this media vacuum, many citizens have used social media to obtain meteorological developments and security advice. The pages of the Directorate General of Meteorology and the Ministry of Equipment and Water, as well as certain independent news pages, have become the main source of information on the storm, because Moroccans report warnings and exchange photos and videos on the state of roads and affected areas.
Demand responsibility for public media
This absence has raised questions about the role of public media in crises, as many activists through communication platforms have expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of allocation of direct programs or exceptional bulletins which include security guidelines, as is happening in many countries during climate crises.
Media experts believe that public media is of great responsibility in the education of citizens, in particular in difficult weather conditions, and they must move quickly to provide full coverage which includes updates on cut roads, safety instructions and advice on how to manage the storm.
The need to activate an emergency media plan
In light of growing extremist air phenomena, specialists require the need to prepare an emergency media plan that includes:
Special air bulletins are regularly broadcast on official channels during dangerous climatic fluctuations.
Implying meteorologists, roads and civil protection in direct programs to provide advice to citizens.
Use urgent alerts in the radio, television, text messages to warn drivers and residents of the affected areas.
A summary
Public media remain responsible for providing precise information in a timely manner, in particular in emergency conditions which can threaten the security of citizens. The delay in the coverage of these events can lead to an increase in human and material losses, which requires a review of the way in which national media treat climatic crises to guarantee that responsible citizen informs and interacts with events.
