In a disaster, there are often massive network outages. When the Ahr, a small river in Rhineland-Palatinate, burst its banks in July 2021, the entire telephone and mobile network quickly collapsed as the floodwaters and mud destroyed many exchanges. For emergencies like this, researchers at Fraunhofer FIT have developed smart communication solutions for civil protection and disaster relief to address the congestion of public networks.
