Major natural disasters while not as rate as one might wish

Major natural disasters, while not as rate as one might wish, are not common enough that companies develop network and communications products for that use alone. The technologies that NetHope partners use were originally developed for other reasons, what additional uses could these technologies have?

Solution

NetHope uses technology to speed emergency response, build capacity, and reduce communications costs for member humanitarian organizations.

NetHope enables humanitarian and conservation organizations to better serve the developing world through smarter use of technology. NetHope helps its member organizations collaborate, innovate, and leverage the full potential of information and communications technology (ICT) to support their causes.

Impact

When member organizations are able to better coordinate services using technology, they eliminate gaps in service, reduce duplication, and deliver more goods and services to people in need.
