The Early Tsunami Warning System installed at Rangachang in Andaman and Nicobar Islands can predict a tsunami immediately after an earthquake. Chief Scientist of the National Institute of Ocean Technology Vinith Kumar said that the system can predict tsunami within 3 minutes after the occurrence of the initial tremors and send alerts. After that, tsunami alerts would be issued to the risk zones by the Centre in consultation with Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services, INCOIS at Hyderabad.

Kumar also said the Centre has installed 10 Fish Aggregating Devices, FAD in 10 locations across the islands, including Mayabandar, Dilgipur, Chidiayatapu, Hut Bay, Car Nicobar and Campbell Bay for the benefit of fishermen.
