Communication and the Internet 2

Communication is so important during an emergency, because without communication those in the emergency would not be able to call for help or tell loved ones all was okay. Even after the emergency communication is necessary when trying to raise money by asking for donations in order to help rebuild what was lost, also it is important as communication allows people to get the news across the world and to warn close by countries.
in recent disasters many forms of communication were used, these include, Emails, Phone calls, News on the web, Parcels/Letters were sent and cargo ships were used to drop letters/parcels etc.
The essential information that needs to be communicated during a disaster usually includes how many people were injured, where and when it happened/started etc.
