The ETC is on the ground in Vanua Levu, Fiji, after Cyclone Yasa barreled across the island nation with the force of a super Category 5 storm on 17 December, causing catastrophic damage and destruction in its wake. Working side by side with Fiji's National Disaster Management Office (NDMO), regional partners and Crisis Connectivity Charter signatory Inmarsat, the ETC is providing critical connectivity services to support the assessment phase of the response.
