1992年菲律宾皮纳图博火山爆发后,驻菲美军的所有通信系统均中断,唯有驻菲美空军的“家庭计算机联网系统”(FAMNET)工作正常。它迅速把重要情况通报给从克拉克基地撤到关岛和其它基地的军人家属。这个工作网络与驻世界各地的美空军家庭计算机支援中心联网。过去它在火山爆发、飓风骤起、洪水来临之际起到了关键作用,现在它对美国空军家属来说每日每时都很重要。空军家庭支援中心的计算机工作人员每天 After the eruption of the Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines in 1992, all communications systems in the U.S. troops stationed in the United States were interrupted. Only FAMNET, operated by the Philippine U.S. Air Force, was working properly. It promptly briefed the families of military personnel who had withdrawn from Clarke base to Guam and other bases. The work network is networked with the U.S. Air Force Family Computer Support Center around the world.
