Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The usage of satellite-based emergency communication services for disaster management across the globe has increased significantly in recent years. More specifically, after the advent of Hurricane Katrina in the US, natural-disaster-prone countries have enhanced their budgets for satellite communication for use in disaster management. Further, to establish an efficient emergency communication system to handle disasters, the US government has invested in providing emergency communication services before and after the disaster through satellite communication. This includes receiving regular updates, government notifications, and advisory services, provision of movable communication vehicles, and establishing temporary communication channels during the relief period. Due to the above measures, when Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, the US government was able to successfully manage and communicate pre-disaster notifications and relief work details using its disaster information reporting system.
