TSF deployed for a mission after the massive flooding that occurred in Libya on Sunday, September 10, to support relief response through technology.

TSF deploys its teams to support the populations affected by Typhoon Kammuri, the Philippines' 20th tropical cyclone for 2019

TSF provides rescue organisations on the ground satellite connections following the Typhoon Mangkhut that caused deadly landslides.

In order to strengthen the support given to the thousands of Malians fleeing the violence in their country, TSF provided high-speed, reliable and fast satellite communications for the improved coordination of organisations in the field.

TSF supports the many rescue teams in the field, as well as the thousands of people affected by Typhoon Hagupit.

TSF supports the rescue teams in the field, as well as the thousands of people affected by Typhoon Haiyan from 7th November to 8th December 2013.

The October 15 earthquake on the island of Bohol affected nearly 400,000 people. TSF provided means of communication to local authorities to enable them to better organise their response. Humanitarian calling operations were also carried out to enable the inhabitants of the most affected cities to contact their families.

Typhoon Bopha, locally known as Pablo, hit the island of Mindanao on December 3, 2012, causing significant damage. TSF intervened from its base in Asia to provide the means of communication necessary for the coordination of relief, and allowed the affected communities to make a priority call to their relatives.

During the nine months following the uprising in Libya, TSF remained on the ground providing emergency calls and connections to civilians fleeing the fighting and to NGOs working alongside them.

Typhoons Ketsana and Parma resulted in the deaths of more than 800 people and caused damage in 8 regions of the Philippines. A TSF team was operational in Manila less than 24 hours after the NDCC request. The telecom facilities installed by the team connected coordination centers in Manila, Tuguegarao and Tarlac; they also benefited UNDAC evaluation teams in 3 regions. More than 1070 calls were made to those affected, who were able to contact their family abroad.

On September 29, a devastating 8.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami. TSF provided telecom and IT support to the organisations present. In coordination with the NDMO, humanitarian calling operations were conducted in the evacuation centres.

Following Typhoon Durian, which swept the Philippines on 1 December, Télécoms Sans Frontières immediately mobilised its teams to strengthen the relief efforts and offer communications to the affected population. The team from the Asian regional base collaborated with the National Centre for Disaster Coordination (NDCC)
