“…Because communication during a disaster is mainly a government responsibility, some government funded research has been performed on how network applications and supporting infrastructure should be designed in order to be available in a disaster situation [5] [6]. A catastrophe will cause stress in the Internet, and access and admission control methods have been developed that can be beneficial after a disaster [7].…”

Abstract. Most research on network recovery has been centered around two common assumptions regarding failure characteristics: Failures do not occur simultaneously and failures do mostly strike links. Even this may be the characteristics of everyday failures, we argue that disasters like earthquakes, power outages and terrorist attacks impose other failure characteristics. In this paper we demonstrate how our method, called 'Resilient Routing Layers', can be used as a tool for recovery from failures adhering to such disaster characteristics.

“…This is also the case where resilience against disasters that might affect the space-segment is required. This might be due to deployment into regions where satellite access is denied, or so restricted as to be de facto denied, e.g., in some war zones [27], [28].…”

COVID19 has made the global humanitarian context more vulnerable and complex than ever. In particular, it has already resulted in the situation where response to significant disasters, such as Cyclone Harold in Vanuatu, has been greatly impaired by the reduced ability to safely and responsibly deploy humanitarian responders when and where they are needed. These are, however, not new problems: COVID19 has only served to amplify the existing problems.In this paper, we explore how careful and strategic use of existing and emerging technologies can be used to mitigate this problem, by analyzing the humanitarian roles and functions that need to be provided, and then creating technology packages that can both meet those needs, and be boot-strapped in country, without the need for any personnel to deploy into the disaster zone. Or perhaps more realistically, how the need for deploying personnel can be simultaneously minimized, and be primarily met from personnel already in-situ.Among other contributions, we identify that technologies designed for remote support injection into disaster zones should embody self-evident function and value, self-sufficiency, selfconfiguration and self-regulation, to ensure rapid, effective and maintainable delivery of humanitarian assistance from afar.

“…The focus of this paper, infrastructure recovery, constitutes one important aspect of the lifecycle of a damaging event or disaster (see Smith et al 1994;Baker et al 2004;Altay and Green 2006). With respect to networked infrastructures, recovery efforts are typically centered on restoring system performance to predisruption status.…”
