Why is HumaniNet important?
The need for reliable communications and information sharing among humanitarian relief teams and organizations in the field is severe and worsening, as the number of responses to natural disasters, wars, civil conflict, and displaced populations increases. Relief and aid workers lack basic communication tools that are needed to coordinate action in complex international emergencies. This degrades their ability to assess the situation, communicate needs, ship the right supplies to the right place, provide medical and health assistance, and provide basic security for field personnel.
