- The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) work to improve disaster alerts in India.
- They use an Integrated Alert System called SACHET to send disaster messages.
- SACHET sends alerts as SMS to people in specific areas during emergencies.
- The system uses the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
- To improve alerts, the Cell Broadcast (CB) technology is being tested for faster messages.
- The CB sends alerts to all phones in an affected area quickly during events like earthquakes or tsunamis.
