Hurricane Hanna

During Hurricane Hanna in 2008, IHP provided ICT support to UNDAC in the Turks and Caicos Islands. As the storm caused extensive damage, IHP deployed satellite phones, laptops, and internet connectivity to enable effective communication and coordination of relief efforts. This critical support allowed for real-time assessments and helped streamline aid distribution, highlighting IHP's role in enhancing disaster response during major natural disasters like Hurricane Hanna.
