To contribute to community resilience in the face of disasters in Central America, TSF is implementing resilient connectivity solutions in centers identified for their ability to provide assistance to vulnerable people during crises.

Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica as a Category 5 storm on October 28, 2025. TSF responded to the emergency in close collaboration with national and regional humanitarian organizations, and provided connectivity to communities and to relief efforts.

On July 1, 2024, Hurricane Beryl caused extensive damage on the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada. Continuing its path through the Caribbean, it also hit Jamaica. Two TSF teams are on site to provide emergency telecoms support, in coordination with CDEMA and UNDAC.

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.

The April 2009 earthquake in Italy left 260 people dead and more than a thousand wounded. The onsite TSF team provided emergency satellite lines to the civil protection coordination centres.

Torrential rains fell on the Aosta Valley, the TSF team, equipped with 16 satellite telephone lines, arrived at the Emergency Command Centre 14 hours after the official announcement of the request for international assistance. First NGO present in the field, the team assesses the damages.

Between 1998 and 1999, several tens of thousands of Kosovars crossed the border to seek refuge in Macedonia while waiting for the end of the conflict. TSF helped these refugees by allowing them to make their first call following their forced exile.
