    <abstract language="eng">The climate functions as a highly interconnected system, shaped by natural phenomena such as rising temperatures, shifts in atmospheric composition, variations in solar radiation, and human activities. Tropical cyclones, in particular, pose severe risks, leading to heavy losses for farmers and widespread casualties. Despite these threats, farmers demonstrate resilience by turning to ICT tools and social media to both cope with cyclones and share information. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues early cyclone warnings to state authorities through a four-stage, color-coded system: Pre-Cyclone Watch, Cyclone Alert, Cyclone Warning, and Post-Landfall Outlook.

This study explores how coastal farmers use ICT tools to manage tropical cyclones. Conducted in 2022–23 in the SPSR Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, the research surveyed 120 farmers across ten villages. Findings show that 96.67% of farmers owned mobile phones, while 88.33% had televisions. During cyclone warnings, 90% of farmers relied on mobile phones for updates, 85% on television, and 71.67% on WhatsApp. The results emphasize the crucial role of digital platforms in spreading timely cyclone alerts and improving farmers’ resilience. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited awareness and inadequate infrastructure continue to restrict ICT’s full potential. Gaining insights into farmers’ constraints and attitudes toward ICT use is key to enhancing its adoption and effectiveness in agriculture.</abstract>
