In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, cell towers, power lines,
and telephone and internet cable are often damaged or destroyed, limiting
the ability for responders to share data and access the internet. The AWS
Disaster Response team conducted a field testing operation designed to
replicate a common disaster response scenario, to show how to establish an
ad-hoc network at field sites with limited connectivity and create a link to
an office headquarters to provide access to cloud-based resources and data
to responders in the field.
