Telecommunications for Disaster Relief
Telecommunications for disaster relief (TDR) ( German telecommunications for disaster assistance ) comes from the decision of the International Telecommunication Union (11 February 2002 ITU-T SG) for the identification of the priority of interstate telecommunications in disaster aid out. This is based on the recommendations E.105 (1992) International Telephone Service and E.106 (2000) International Emergency Preference Scheme (IEPS) for disaster relief operations of the ITU-T SG 2.
TDR is intended to give international aid organizations and United Nations agencies the opportunity to connect to each other and across national borders with other telephone networks in crisis areas in which there is no longer a public telephone network. The geographical country code according to E.164 already issued to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) was changed from +999 to +888 on May 4, 2007. In addition, the Mobile Network Code 88 was assigned in the shared Mobile Country Code under 901 .
