The NEWS is going to be housed in the new Tonga Broadcasting Commission building being built in Fasi.
With the latest in technology, the new system is expected to cover 100 percent of Tonga and will be able to send out tsunami warning sirens through special radios that have also been distributed countrywide.
The system will also be able to reach out to all radio wavelengths in the Kingdom.
The new system will be able to send out warning signals and sirens within 8 minutes, compared to the 90 minutes it currently takes to do that.
