Putting people first during natural disasters and conflict
Viasat helps mobilize connectivity where it’s needed most.
Connecting communities in crisis
In the aftermath of a disaster, when infrastructure can be severely damaged or even incapacitated completely, satellites are often the only means of potentially life-saving connectivity. Viasat’s ability to quickly mobilize our technology, volunteers and partners has provided invaluable connectivity during global conflicts and naturals disasters, like earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, hurricanes such as Irma, Matthew, Harvey and Otis, the Maui fires, and tsunamis in Japan.
Purpose-driven partnerships
When time is of the essence, Viasat can quickly equip boots on the ground with satellite phones and portable broadband terminals to enable first-responders and rescue organizations to connect to our high-speed, resilient satellite communications wherever they are in the world, to provide critical connectivity.
Viasat collaborates closely with trusted partners across the globe to support disaster relief, including:
