Defying natural calamities is impossible! Lately, the world has experienced a chain of natural catastrophes ranging from Japan’s Earthquake to hurricanes in US, heavy floods in Pakistan and many more.  Coping up with a natural hazard becomes even more difficult especially when all the connectivity modes are restricted or damaged completely.

Earlier this year, Japan was struck by an Earthquake of 9.0 magnitude, triggering disastrous Tsunami afterwards. Approximate damage was reported to range between US$14.5 to $34.6 billion.

In August 2011, US encountered immense damage caused by hurricane Irene. According to an estimate, the monetary losses caused by Irene in US ranged from US $10 to US $15 billion.

Apart from tackling with so many other issues, those who were stuck in the hurricane-stricken areas were unable to contact their loved ones and vice versa due to disrupted communication and broken phone lines. All modes of commuting were blocked and people were left with no option but to stay indoors.

For the past three months, Pakistan has been struck badly by heavy rainfall and subsequent floods. The latest series of Flood in various provinces of Pakistan has affected more than 5.5 million people and the count is still on the rise.

Friends and family of the affected flood victims are unable to get in touch with them due to damaged phone lines, and limited or no connectivity issues by mobile networks.
