Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure plays different roles in different phases of the cycle. Generally, “during disaster” connotes the period beginning with the hazard making contact with humans (thus becoming a disaster) and up to the start or mid‐point of the recovery phase. Services provided over ICT infrastructure can play perhaps their most decisive role in the early warning of natural disasters (see Annex), and there is much research documenting its role. The emphasis in this report, however, is not placed on this phase, which is prior to the disaster. Further, the emphasis is on ICT infrastructure, primarily telecommunication networks and the facilities needed to keep them operational.
A disaster disrupts all activities in that region. Recovery from disaster requires the restoration of routine ways of doing things and of decreasing uncertainty. Relief is the immediate response to the disruption. Both require control and coordination.
