State plans shortwave broadcasts to warn fishing vessels

After facing criticism for its failure to warn fishing vessels at sea
during Cyclone Ockhi, the Tamil Nadu State government plans to use
shortwave radio broadcasts to provide vital information

The Hindu reports the Tamil Nadu State Disaster Management Authority
(TNSDMA) will soon hold a meeting with the Regional Meteorological Centre
and All India Radio to discuss the possibility of starting a dedicated
radio station to disseminate weather forecasts to deep sea fishing vessels.
Shortwave radio, which has a frequency band extending up to 30 MHz, can be
used for long-distance communication, officials said.

Admitting that there were technological gaps in ensuring connectivity with
deep sea fishermen, Rajendra Ratnoo, Commissioner, TNSDMA, said viable
solutions were being discussed to bridge the communication gaps within a
year. He was speaking at a seminar on Monsoons 2017, organised by Indian
Meteorological Society, Chennai chapter, at the Regional Meteorological
Centre here on Wednesday.
