The Siren and a Digital Electronic Board is part of a system for issuing early warning in case of a Tsunami threat in the Indian Ocean region.
The siren has a radical range of three kms in all directions and will have continuous hoot for one minute.
The system is installed at the Meteorology Office of Western Naval Command by Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), an autonomous organisation under Ministry of Earth & Sciences (MoES), Government of India.
Post successful completion of drill, it is intended to carry out testing of the Tsunami Warning Siren on regular basis between 12:00-12:10 PM on second and fourth Saturday of every month commencing November 1.
