Across hundreds of Alaskan communities, public schools are often the safest buildings where people can take shelter during disasters.
After decades of state neglect, however, some have become emergencies themselves.

Search request support for archive, vinyl, history, radio, physical media folk:
See this 1971 KGIL earthquake reporting record? Seeking similar albums & striking out using words like live news broadcast, disasters, emergencies, etc. What terms would you search for? (Or do you have album recs?!)
(this is a query i'm posting for another person, any thoughts #radio #ham #vinyl #disaster people? TIA!)

Could you help me find #ttrpg #games focused on disaster relief, first responders, firefighters and similar?
I'm interested in both narrative and crunchy, I want to analyze #stories and #narrative placement of the player agency, goals etc.
Bonus points for narrative analysis of such games, board games, similar video games etc. I think Pandemic Legacy would qualify.

Since a big part of my interest in #meshtastic is as #disaster comms, I decided to run my Station G2 off a big battery instead of directly off mains.
The battery, a previous generation Goal Zero is rated at a little less than 300 Watt hours. The G2 got nearly 5 full days which is well shy of the 12 I’d estimated but still respectable.
