Abstract

Large-scale natural disasters like tsunami, earthquake and cyclone have serious impact on the telecommunication infrastructure . Cellular network/Internet services immediately become non-functional or partially functional in emergencies due to the failure of the supporting infrastructure through system damage [1]. Therefore, the possibility of information exchange using normal communication infrastructure is almost ruled out. However, any emergency response activity consists of several interrelated phases each of which requires appropriate situational information for its execution. The gap between the need and availability of crucial situational information poses severe challenges in providing effective disaster management services to the affected community . This book addresses these challenges and proposes a framework for reliable post-disaster services in a challenged network environment.
