USA – To help customers and emergency responders stay connected, local AT&T teams and our Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) team deployed a Satellite COLT (Cell on Light Truck) to the Mariposa County Fairground Command Site to support emergency communications in the area.
This year, weve deployed equipment to 5 wildfires. Wildfires move quickly and its important we keep first responders connected while they battle blazes.
Keeping customers connected is always our priority even more so after a disaster. Natural disasters can greatly affect communications. So our NDR team deploys network recovery equipment so our customers and first responders dont lose connections.
The AT&T National Disaster Recovery (NDR) program is one of the industrys largest and most advanced disaster response programs. It includes more than 320 technology and equipment trailers that can be quickly deployed to respond to disasters. The NDR team works with local AT&T network personnel, regional emergency operations centers and local response centers to keep service going until permanent repairs are made.
Portugal is to reduce the number of eucalyptus groves after the highly flammable plant was blamed for last month’s deadly forest fires.
Parliament voted for the measure Wednesday as part of ongoing forest law reforms that started in April, before the blaze in the central Pedrogao Grande region that killed 64 people and injured more than 250.
Prime Minister Antonio Costa last week urged measures to prevent a repeat catastrophe, while also highlighting the challenges of forest redevelopment.
“We can’t refuse to curb the growth of eucalyptus because we’re worried about its impact on the paper industry,” he said last week, referring to a sector that represents 4.9 percent of Portuguese exports.
Eucalyptus is Portugal’s most widespread forest plant, according to the country’s Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests.
But it is cited as a cause offorest fires that lay waste annually to around 100,000 hectares of vegetation.
