When disaster strikes..
- Multiple failure of utilities services (Electricity/Water/Telephone)
- Multiple disasters: storm, flood, fire and earthquake can take place in combination
- Fires are often caused by explosion of fuel storage and electrical faults/accidents
- Calls for help require EFFICIENT COMMUNICATIONS
- Communication systems may fail completely due to broken connections, collapsed radio towers and power outage
- Search and Rescue team usually comes with limited communication capability, not sufficient to serve the desperate public
- Communication systems are overloaded with calls.
