January the 1st, 2021 – The tragic Petrinja earthquake which affected Petrinja, Glina, Sisak and other surrounding areas in central Croatia has seen floods of help, aid and donations come in from across the country and indeed the world, and Croatian Telecom/Hrvatski Telekom is yet another entity to step forward and offer aid to those who have suffered as a result of the devastating natural disaster.
As Poslovni Dnevnik wrires, following the earthquake, Croatian Telecom’s employees went out to the most heavily quake-affected areas to make sure the telecommunications network was fully functioning in order to keep everyone connected during those most difficult and stressful of moments.
In addition to the above, Croatian Telecom is donating a generous three million kuna for post-earthquake reconstruction in the afflicted central Croatian locations to the special Earthquake Reconstruction Assistance account.
“In the shortest possible time, we enabled the uninterrupted operation of base stations in the area of Sisak, Petrinja and Glina along with our partners, and we increased our capacities with additional mobile base stations. At the same time, we delivered 1,000 SIM cards and portable chargers to all of the earthquake-affected areas, and we’re working on establishing a WiFi connection for the reception centre for people who have been left homeless,” they stated from Croatian Telecom.
