Emergency and Disaster relief

Emergency and Disaster relief
Edition of 2006

Telecommunication is critical at all phases of disaster management. Aspects of radiocommunication services associated with disasters include, inter alia, disaster prediction, detection, alerting and disaster relief. In certain cases, when the 'wired' telecommunication infrastructure is significantly or completely destroyed by a disaster, only radiocommunication services can be employed for disaster relief operation.
