Resumen:
Natural disasters can have catastrophic consequences; a poignant example is the series of 7.7- and 7.6-magnitude earthquakes that devastated Türkiye on February 6, 2023. To limit damage, it is essential to maintain the communications infrastructure to ensure individuals impacted by the disaster can receive critical information. The disastrous earthquakes in Türkiye have revealed the importance of considering communications and energy solutions together to build resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Thus, this article proposes an integrated space-air-ground-sea network architecture that utilizes various communications and energy-enabling technologies. This study aims to contribute to the development of robust and sustainable disaster-response frame-works. In light of the Türkiye earthquakes, two methods for network management are proposed. The first aims to ensure sustainability in the pre-disaster phase, and the second aims to maintain communications during the in-disaster phase. In these frameworks, communications technologies such as high altitude platform station(s) (HAPS), which are among the key enablers to unlock the potential of 6G networks and energy technologies, such as Renewable Energy Sources (RES), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs), and Electric Vehicles (EVs), have been used as the prominent technologies. By simulating a case study, we demonstrate the performance of a proposed framework for providing network resiliency. The article concludes with potential challenges and future directions to achieve a disaster-resilient network architecture solution. © 1979-2012 IEEE.
