[ubuntu-np-discuss] [FOSS Nepal] Ham radios

[Jitendra kumar]

+1 - Training/Awareness about Ham Radio would be an important step in
disaster preparedness.

As a measure of disaster preparedness, *Cellular broadcast*
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_Broadcast>
may be another important tool. It is a part of GSM standard but I am not
sure if NTC/NCell are equipped with this technology. Can anyone get
information from them about this? This can be effective tool for a govt/NGO
wanting to broadcast some important updates/alerts in a specific area during
such disasters.
