Recently Meteorological Bureau of Hebei province signed cooperation agreement with Hebei Branch Company of China Mobile Communication Corporation, which aimed to build meteorological disaster information mobile phone release system. The purpose of the system was to enable the authorities of all levels of the government to get the earliest disaster information so that they could direct the disaster fighting and relief work in a more scientific way. The system would decrease the loss and provide good evidence for the disaster evaluation. It was informed that the system would be put into use in July. (May 14)
