Get Tsunami Alert on Mobiles !

Bangalore-based Geneva Software Technologies Limited (GSTL) has developed Tsunami Disaster Information Alert System, the first of its kind in the world. It sends alert messages to mobiles in 14 Indian languages to the Tsunami prone area in less than 50 seconds from the time the Met. department receives the alert. This is an extension of the Geneva National Disaster Information System, which is a mode of sending disaster alerts in multilingual SMS that reaches 95% of mobile phones.
Besides, a mode of automated voice alerts reaches to 100% of mobiles and landlines, and in the absence of mobile and landlines standalone public address systems provides direct audio alerts. This product is based on Geneva's patented technology Natural Language Frame-work (NLF), a system and method for product migration in multi-lingual languages. NLF has the capability to migrate a given software application from its source language to the target language extrinsically or intrinsically with reference to the user interface, data services, internationalization features, personalization, and cultural data. This alert system is under active implementation in the major coastal states, which are prone to Tsunami, floods, etc. Once the system is fully implemented, people outside home or office can get alert in their local language about Tsunami in their mobiles. The system is basically for people who operate only in their local language, and by virtue of limited access to information are the most vulnerable to get trapped in a disaster situation. T. Murali Krishna Reddy, managing director of Geneva Software Technologies, said, "This is the fastest mode of communication in the present world. Designed to reach the maximum people in minimum time, it can especially help the rural people and fisherman community to get messages in their local language."
