Means of communication like radios which are used by Government departments such as the Meteorological Department to disseminate information at various levels?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) transmits weather information on several frequencies between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz. Any cheap scanner or weather radio designed to receive these frequencies should be sufficient to receive the weather information. Most weather radios have an alert feature that will set off an alarm if hazardous weather is in your area. You can get more information about the frequencies in your area at www.noaa.gov. Most areas in the U.S. also have a skywarn net. Skywarn is a network of volunteer weather spotters who have been trained by the weather service and make direct reports to the weather service during hazardous weather. Many amateur radio operators in your area check in to a skywarn net to provide eyewitness accounts of weather whenever necessary. You can listen to them if you have a scanner capable of receiving 144 - 148 MHz (most scanners will). A simple google search for "skywarn net" and your city will find the frequency of your local skywarn net. Another radio service is the Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS). MARS is a system that the military uses to communicate with civilians (mostly amateur radio operators) during emergencies, such as hurricane Katrina.
