Missions

To contribute to community resilience in the face of disasters in Central America, TSF is implementing resilient connectivity solutions in centers identified for their ability to provide assistance to vulnerable people during crises.

Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica as a Category 5 storm on October 28, 2025. TSF responded to the emergency in close collaboration with national and regional humanitarian organizations, and provided connectivity to communities and to relief efforts.

On July 1, 2024, Hurricane Beryl caused extensive damage on the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada. Continuing its path through the Caribbean, it also hit Jamaica. Two TSF teams are on site to provide emergency telecoms support, in coordination with CDEMA and UNDAC.

A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti on Saturday 14 August. TSF deployed a team from its headquarters to provide humanitarian assistance in the affected area.

In July 2021, record rainfall caused widespread flooding across Western Europe, with some areas suffering the worst devastation in decades. More than 180 casualties were confirmed and thousands forced to leave their houses.

Within the framework of operational partnerships with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Télécoms Sans Frontières is the go-to organisation for providing technical expertise and training workshops on the application of emergency telecommunications in the humanitarian context.

After the hurricane, the most affected cities of Jérémie and Les Cayes were deprived of contact with the outside world. TSF teams were on hand to provide the essential communications to rescue teams and residents.

TSF trained 16 members of the national Chilean organizations ONEMI and SUBTEL on emergency telecommunications.

An earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale occurred in the Maule region of Chile. As the country called for international assistance, TSF coordinated with the Chilean authorities to provide telecommunication assistance to the local and international community and populations.

The 2010 earthquake in Haiti is a humanitarian crisis that remains engraved in the memories of people across the globe. With more than 220,000 fatalities, and over 1 million people left without a roof over their heads, relief efforts were titanic. With the support of the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations body (ECHO), TSF provided satellite telecommunications support for the humanitarian response community, including the government and the United Nations, whilst working to provide communications services for thousands of families.

TSF supported satellite communications and IT resource centres for humanitarian emergency operations following four hurricanes in Haiti.

TSF deployed a team of emergency telecommunications specialists in the Darfur region of Sudan to conduct an assessment mission for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The mission was to assess the telecommunications infrastructure in Nyala, El Genina and El Fasher to determine the needs of the United Nations and NGOs in these cities located to the west of the country near the Chadian border. This conflict-ridden region, which, according to international experts, had since 2003 killed more than 200,000 people and forced more than two million to flee fighting and take refuge in makeshift camps on both sides of the border in Chad and Sudan.
