Based on the ITU Guidelines on NETPs, the Tabletop Simulation Guide, as well as on the Tampere Convention, three new online training modules have been created and designed to allow ITU to build capacity and increase knowledge on the topic of emergency telecommunications and to continue to build disaster resilience, even in times of the current pandemic.

The webinar will discuss how to continue enabling more women to have inclusive access to, and use of ICTs for saving lives. It will also address how governments, international and national humanitarian organizations, and ICT private sector entities have incorporated a larger focus on gender and women in policy frameworks and the allocation of resources in the context of ICTs for disaster management.
