DPRK scientists and technicians developed a disaster warning information system to ensure scientific, accurate and rapid disaster warnings on a high level.
The information system, developed in the Korean style to suit the specific conditions of the country, is a communication system capable of rapidly and accurately sending out all kinds of disaster warning data to the lowest units in time, correctly checking their acceptance and supervising the disaster prevention work while receiving reports on the measures taken.
The research team, in collaboration with the disaster prevention sector, examined different situations that might arise in case of disasters and, on that basis, structured the overall system, designed devices and developed programs.
In particular, they directed efforts to developing an advanced and perfect information system with various modes of issuing warnings in conformity with the specific situation and conditions of the country.
As a result, they successfully developed an effective information system that is not restricted by the equipment, power and admission conditions and that saves much equipment and manpower as compared with the previous warning information mode.
The system proved its superiority through dozens of tests in different regions and units.
The Pyongyang Times, launched on May 6, 1965, is the DPRK's only English newspaper. It gives latest, detailed information about what is going on in the country in politics, the economy, culture and other sectors. And the paper also provides a vast knowledge of the nooks and crannies of Pyongyang.
