Mobile-phone alerts on cyclones
Posted on: 11/Jun/2015 11:48:21 AM
In the earlier days we have to depend on the radios to get the cyclone alerts and when there is no power, we will be in a dire situation. Many of the people in the rural and especially the farmers will not be wary about this. As technology advanced we had many sources like TV and internet to get the latest weather reports not only in India but also abroad.
Now there is a good news to everyone. Very soon your phone will alert you to cyclones brewing off the coast. Those wishing to receive the text messages may register their details on the department’s website. Many people, including officers involved in disaster management and farmers, are registering for the free national-level service. The department’s officials say registered users will get alerts relevant to their region.
