The sustainability of providing continuous information after a major disaster has become increasingly challenging due to failures in mainstream communications infrastructure. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods, can severely damage traditional communication systems, including telephone lines and cellular networks, making disseminating critical information to affected areas difficult.

The high dependency on the internet for sharing information exacerbates the problem. In disaster-stricken regions, internet connectivity can be disrupted or completely unavailable, further impeding communication and information flow. As a result, there is a pressing need to research alternative telecommunication technologies that can function independently of existing infrastructure. These technologies should be resilient, reliable, and capable of providing communication services in disaster scenarios.

Overall, researching and implementing alternative telecommunication technologies that can function independently of mainstream infrastructure is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of providing continuous information after large-scale disasters. These technologies offer resilience, reliability, and the ability to keep affected communities connected when needed. Therefore, CRISiSLab aims to explore potential alternative communication technologies and protocols resilient of maintaining continuous information follow after disasters or emergencies.
