SpaceX and Italy's Unipol collaborate for flood relief in Italy.
SpaceX and Unipol Gruppo have teamed up to help people affected by flooding in northern Italy connect to the internet, facilitating rescue operations. Unipol has acquired SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet terminals and will make them available for rescuers, hospitals, and the public. SpaceX is positioning its satellites to prioritize the Emilia-Romagna region and provide improved coverage. Around 36,000 people were forced to leave their homes due to the flooding, and many of those who remained in flooded areas were left with no electricity.
