Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Launch Mobile-Based Disaster Alert System on May 2 Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to unveil a mobile-based disaster communication system on May 2, with Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia joining him at the event. The initiative, developed through collaboration between the Department of Telecommunications and the National Disaster Management Authority, aims to provide real-time emergency alerts to citizens during crises. The system will leverage advanced technology to ensure rapid dissemination of critical information, enhancing public safety and preparedness. The platform integrates the existing SACHET alert system with Cell Broadcast technology, enabling instant notifications to all mobile devices within targeted geographic areas. This dual approach ensures that alerts are delivered simultaneously through both SMS and broadcast channels, maximizing reach and reliability. The system has already been deployed across all states and Union Territories, with reports indicating that it has successfully sent billions of alerts during past disasters and extreme weather events. As part of the launch, a test message will be sent to mobile handsets in all capital cities of India, including Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). The message, which will be available in English, Hindi, and regional languages, will read: “India, launches Cell Broadcast using indigenous technology, for instant disaster alerting service for its citizens. Alert citizens, safe nation. No action is required by the public upon receipt of this message. This is a test message.#department_of_telecommunications #union_home_minister_amit_shah #national_disaster_management_authority #communications_minister_jyotiraditya_scindia #sachet_alert_system
