The Seychelles Meteorological Authority (SMA) has signed an agreement with the country's two largest telecommunication companies with the aim of bringing faster disaster risk alerts to the public.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed last week by Vincent Amelie, the chief executive of SMA, along with the directors of operators Airtel Seychelles and Cable & Wireless Seychelles during a workshop to coincide with World Meteorological Day (which commemorates the coming into force on 23 March 1950 of the Convention establishing the World Meteorological Organization).
