In late 2004, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Indian Ocean, setting off a series of tsunamis that would devastate coastal cities in 11 countries – from Thailand to Africa. That event, and a trip to Thailand only days later would change the course of Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Researcher Brian Steckler’s career, and simultaneously put NPS on the forefront of communications technologies for humanitarian relief and disaster response (HA/DR) missions.
