The Government of India has launched a real - time disaster system to deliver emergency warnings directly to mobile users, enhancing preparedness and public safety communication across the country.
India’s Minister of Communications, Jyotiraditya Scindia has announced the launch of the “Cellurar Broadcast Alert System” developed with the support of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and under the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
This advanced system is designed to send critical information on disasters, emergencies and public safety directly to citizens’s mobile phones in real time, according to information from Asian News Service (IANS), a private Indian news agency based in New Delhi.
Alerts are transmitted through the integrated indigenous system 'SACHET', developed by the Centre for the Development of Teleinformatics (C-DOT), based on the Common Alert Protocol recommended by the International Telecommunication Union.
The system aims to deliver alerts related to disasters and emergencies, including tsunamis, earthquakes, lighting strikes and man - made hazards such as gas leaks or chemical incidents.
Individuals receive a specific notification accom,panied by a distinct vibration message. This timely notification, as planned by the Cell Broadcast test, enables individuals to reach safe zones in case of any hazardous areas. In addition, the portal SACHET, gives emergency information for that area.
As part of the rollout, a nationwide test was successfully conducted during which users received emergency alert message accompanied by a loud alarm tone and a flashing message on the phone screens.
The officials noted that this initiative represents a significant step to ensure the rapid and effective dissemination of information during natural disasters, severe weather events and other emergency situations, strengthening the preparedness and safeguarding of citizens in the face of natural calamities.
