In an emergency, call the numbers below or contact the official channel directly. Do not wait for any website, including this one, to update.
This page is a directory of the official sources for emergency alerts and public notices in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. We are a job portal, not an emergency service and not an authority — we keep this page so that when something happens you can reach the right source in one click instead of searching for it.

Why This Page Exists
Living on the islands means weather and shipping disrupt ordinary plans more often than on the mainland. A cyclone warning closes schools. A rough sea cancels the ferry. A holiday is declared at short notice. Each of those has an official source, and in the moment people rarely remember which one.
For job seekers there is a practical angle too. A closure or disruption does not usually extend an application deadline. If a last date falls during a weather event, assume it stands unless the recruiting department issues a corrigendum, and submit early rather than relying on an extension.
Recruitment Notices and Corrigendums
Changes to recruitments already announced — date extensions, corrections, cancellations — are posted under Notices & Corrigendums. New Recruitment Rules are under Recruitment Rules, and the full list is on the All A&N Recruitment Rules page.
Admit cards, results and answer keys are under Admit Cards & Results, and every live vacancy is under Andaman Govt Jobs.
Get Notified
We post recruitment notices and corrigendums to our WhatsApp and Telegram channels the day they are issued. Those channels are for job updates — they are not an emergency alert service, and you should never rely on them for safety information. For that, use the official sources above.
Telephone numbers and links on this page are taken from official Andaman and Nicobar Administration and district websites. If you find a number that has changed, tell us and we will correct it the same day.
