Missions

TSF deployed for a mission after the massive flooding that occurred in Libya on Sunday, September 10, to support relief response through technology.

The 7.4 magnitude earthquake that rocked the San Marcos department of Guatemala in November 2012 caused a great deal of destruction and several dozen deaths and disappearances. TSF offered telecommunication assistance to relief organisations, and provided calls to people in temporary shelters.

During the nine months following the uprising in Libya, TSF remained on the ground providing emergency calls and connections to civilians fleeing the fighting and to NGOs working alongside them.

After a telecom assessment in El Salvador, TSF dispatched a team to Guatemala where the communications systems were damaged.

Faced with violent fires that ravaged large parts of Portugal, Télécoms Sans Frontières team deployed to the district of Castelo Branco to provide satellite telecommunications for the Portuguese Civil Defence teams and all other rescue teams on the ground.
