IMD Introduces "Dynamic" Warning System For Cyclone Season
To reduce the infrastructural damage and economic losses due to cyclones, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced to use impact-based cyclone warning system. Reportedly, the system uses meteorological data along with geospatial and population data to provide an area-specific assessment of the cyclone. The decision was taken while discussing the preparation for cyclone season. Moreover, the warning system will be used on an experimental basis from this year itself.
