other emergency workers.
By late afternoon, the telephone switch
board was working. Teha’bhapi residents were

By 9 P.M. two TV stations were sending live
telecasts of the damage. Telephone men had
established a radio-relay system in less than
12 hours.
It was a typical disaster—brutal and un
announced. But telephone men were prepared.
They quickly restored communication when
it was needed most. They demonstrated the
resourcefulness and technical skill typical of
telephone people.
