When disaster strikes, saving lives and containing the spread⎯ is of utmost importance. This makes communication key to disaster management.

But what happens when the power lines are out, radio towers destroyed, and the primary means of communication fail?
Internet connectivity becomes the sole means of managing disaster response efforts.

Instant messaging and Voice/Video call is the new shout for help. Emergency responders need the Internet to find trapped occupants.
Social media can be used as a means to disseminate information to affected people. The internet can be leveraged to save lives and property.
