Abstract	From May 18th to the 20th 1998, the Center for Public Service Communications (CPSC) and the Center of Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (COE) convened a meeting of experts to discuss applications of telecommunications and information technology for humanitarian health initiatives. The meeting was entitled "Telecommunications Applications in Humanitarian Relief Operations" (TAHRO). The TAHRO meeting provided an unusual opportunity for experts of the many disciplines within the fields of disaster management and humanitarian assistance to come together to identify common problems and share successful strategies. The meeting also offered an opportunity for these experts to share experiences and discuss ways in which new emerging and importantly, tried-and-true "old" technologies can improve planning, administration, and operational activities of health professionals in disaster and humanitarian situations. The high caliber of expertise reflected firsthand experience preparing for and responding to natural disasters and complex emergencies, including land mine injury and support to refugee and war affected populations. Perspectives ranged from acute and chronic medical care to mental health, disease prevention/health promotion, and other public health applications including disease surveillance and early warning. Participants discussed these applications in the context of policy, operations, administration, and teaching and training.
