A system and method for enabling an airborne communication system when a natural disaster is detected, or when it is detected that an occurrence of a natural disaster is imminent or likely, is provided. In certain example embodiments, a natural disaster detector monitors, for example, various climatic indicators to determine whether a natural disaster is about to occur, is currently occurring, or has just occurred. An elevation device or system with an attached communication component(s) may elevate before, during, or after the natural disaster, depending on the example embodiment. Once the communication component is airborne, the communication system will create or restore a particular communication channel. In other example embodiments, a plurality of elevation devices, each with their own associated communication components may be elevated to facilitate a node-like implementation.
