Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Launching a series of initiatives under the revenue department, the CM said, "In today's tech-driven world, we must prioritise the integration of advanced technologies and AI in disaster preparedness and response. Alongside this, creating public awareness and enhancing the skills of workers and volunteers involved in rescue operations is absolutely crucial." As part of the unveiling, the CM inaugurated several new projects, including a Technology Demonstration Unit at Hapania, the civil defence training scheme, 26 automated weather stations and rain gauges across the state, a disaster management equipment verification portal, and a change of land use (diversion of land) portal. Developed at a cost of Rs 50 lakh, these initiatives aim to revolutionise disaster preparedness and strengthen governance. Highlighting the state's vulnerability, Saha recalled the devastation caused by Cyclone Sitrang (2022), Cyclone Mocha (2023), Cyclone Remal (2024), and the major floods of 2018 and 2024, he added. "Thousands of volunteers will be trained at the technology demonstration unit. Under the civil defence training scheme, 2,880 volunteers will receive specialized training to strengthen first-response capabilities during emergencies," he added. The CM further emphasised the importance of accurate and real-time weather data in disaster mitigation. He announced plans for a Doppler Weather Radar Station in Belonia, while 26 automated weather monitoring stations and rain gauges have already been installed across Tripura. To streamline operations, the CM also launched the disaster management equipment verification portal, which will help track equipment availability across districts, subdivisions, and TSR battalions.

Rain arrives as Southern California braces for strongest storm of season
The first in a wave of storms expected to bring significant rainfall to Southern California this week arrived overnight. 'We're tracking rain as it's making its arrival to Southern California. The first part of this storm system … just a blob of moisture ahead of the main storm … is moving relatively quickly,' KTLA's Kirk Hawkins said Wednesday morning. KTLA's LIve Radar showed light showers already falling in several areas including Santa Barbara, Long Beach, Oxnard and Westlake Villiage around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday's storm is expected to be relatively mild, bringing about a half inch of rain or less to most of the region but it will be followed by a much stronger system on Thursday. 'We're watching the arrival of a pretty significant storm system that has the potential to be very destructive in some of our burn areas … We could see heavy downpours, significant rainfall rates and a danger of debris flows,' Kirk said. California Weather Radar The National Weather Service (NWS) called for a 'high risk of flooding and burn scar debris flows' when Thursday's storm makes its push. Rain totals in the Los Angeles area are then expected to jump to between 1.5 and 3 inches with up to 6 inches falling in the mountains. NWS Meteorologist Ariel Cohen described the rain as a 'bursting type of pattern' with periods of intense rainfall rates. Peak rain rates could reach a half inch to an inch an hour on Thursday, according to the NWS. Forecasters are also calling for a 10 to 20% chance of thunderstorms on Thursday with widespread roadway flooding likely. The timing of the heaviest showers will be between noon Thursday and 6 a.m. Friday, according to the NWS. Snow levels will start out as low as 6,000 feet on Wednesday with 'no more than a dusting' before rising to above 8,000 feet with a slightly warmer system arriving Thursday. 'Those resort-level areas could see as much as 20 inches of new snow,' the NWS stated. Snow levels are likely to drop back to around the 6,000-foot mark in the wake of the storm. The rain will turn into light showers on Friday before a warming and drying trend begins over the weekend and extends into next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
