Communications problems have been a major challenge in coordinating disaster recovery, rescue and care efforts. Intel is working with major telecommunications companies to evaluate connectivity conditions at American Red Cross shelters in the region. Wherever possible, Intel's partners will enable these locations with either DSL or T-1 broadband access. In locations where landline access is not possible, Intel will offer broadband wireless equipment to ensure that all shelters have broadband Internet access.
