Bangkok: Thailand will carry out tests of a cell phone alert system, announced on Wednesday April 23, April 23, April 23. The Myanmar earthquake caused damage to Bangkok.
The Director General General of the Department of Catastrophes and Ateriation Prevention (DDPM), Phasakorn Boonyalak, said that the cellular dissemination system (CBS) will undergo a test next month in localized areas, including the sprawling capital, which was seriously agitated by the 7.7 magnification earthquake in the neighboring Myanmar.
The system will use three mobile networks to send warning messages “quickly and with wide coverage, both on natural disaster and security threats,” he said at a press conference.
From May 2 with the smallest target area – four buildings in the town hall – there will be three trials, the third and the largest exercise covering all the provinces of Bangkok and Chiang May on May 13.
The cell phones of residents will receive a contextual message on their screens in Thai and English, accompanied by a mermaid, said Phasakorn.
The message will be read: “This is a test message from the Ministry of Catastrophes Prevention and Attenuation, no action required.”
