Missions

In 2020, the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean has been exceptionally active. TSF deployed in collaboration with the United Nations to provide reliable communications in affected areas of Honduras.

TSF organised a capacity building programme to strengthen the humanitarian response system through the optimal use of technologies

On 11 March 2011 an earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale triggered a tsunami in North-East Japan, with 10-metre waves ravaging the coastal areas and causing the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, with the explosion of the reactor of the Fukushima power station. The destruction of infrastructure, the shortage of fuel, and many power cuts to the capital make the situation extremely complex. TSF deployed from its base in Bangkok to provide its emergency communications facilities. The mission drew to a close due to the high risk of the nuclear alert.
