Highlights 

  • The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC), partners Ericsson Response, Government of Luxembourg and World Food Programme (WFP) continue to support joint efforts in restoring vital Information and Communications Technology (ICT) services following the passage of two hurricanes – Irma and Maria.

  • After providing Internet connectivity for 2,900 humanitarians and local populations at 18x locations in Roseau and Marigot, the ETC was phased out of Marigot as connectivity is being re-established by the local internet service providers (ISPs).

  • The ETC is currently providing Internet connectivity for humanitarians and local populations at 1x location in Saint Sauveur and 2x locations in Good Hope.
