Recommendations on Reducing Submarine Cable Cuts
Reducing risks of submarine cable cuts is essential to ensure resilient ICT connectivity.
It is essential that ICT networks are appropriately planned (e.g., built, maintained and protected), considering that ICT infrastructure is critical to enable effective disaster risk management. For example, resilient communication networks facilitate humanitarian response in the wake of a disaster. The E-Resilience Toolkit offers insights into a spectrum of available ICT tools and best practices that may benefit policymakers, DRM professionals and vulnerable communities in Asia and the Pacific to enhance e-resilience and disaster risk management in the context of network planning.
