Massive invasion started
24th February 2022
This was the day everything began. War
started in Ukraine.
Dark days for Ukrainian people, but also for
Internet Service Providers in the region.

My 1st time…
24th February 2022
It was the first time in my life where I had to
apologize to my daughter.
Apologize for something that will now be part
of her life and we will talk about the war and
also my activities later.

The beginning…
When Russia invaded Ukraine,
our chair René Fichtmüller didn’t want to stand idly by.
He first got together with his friend Patrick, and helped
organise two truck’s worth of relief, which they dropped
off at the Ukrainian border in the second week of
March 2022.
However, of course, this was not enough.

Check the Knowledge
Develop regular review tests for employees
and colleagues
Know what you have
Inventory and stock lists are extremely
important and should be quickly accessible in
the event of a disaster.
Train the un-trained
Use Test results to uncover grievances and
address them through training
My
Lessons Learned
From each project we can gain experience.
You can share it or not.
What I am currently trying to do is to work out a blueprint
for all possible disasters with friends from the community.
This blueprint, together with the conventional disaster
recovery plans, could help many people in various
situations.
Use Tools
Network Monitoring, PRTG etc.

27. GNA Concept
Global AID Coordinator
Companies can enter equipment that is
ready for donation into the system and it
can be accessed internationally. Thus, in
the event of a disaster, the First React
Forces can be helped more quickly.
Disaster Blueprint
Gather lessons learned from
Keep Ukraine Connected and
add them into a “Disaster
Community Blueprint”.
What´s next
For me
Work more intensively with the community during
local NOG meetings to get information about local
infrastructures and requirements. In addition, I will
work with the authorities to create disaster case
concepts with a focus on "infrastructure
development/ disaster supply chain".
