[Got what I needed, thanks – PLEASE DO NOT boost this further.] This is an open call for insight and help: I’m looking for guidance from folks who are familiar with #Meshtastic to help me understand what would be involved in setting up and maintaining a national-scale #mutualaid and disaster-response (relief/recovery/“resilience”) network in the UK.
@adamgreenfield I realise this will not be the answer in many areas..but round here in rural #YorkshireDales the police, cave and mountain rescue use the same sort of radios. We have had discussions about getting a few more to be used in emergencies. These would be held at village halls or churches which would be focal point in a crisis so could use existing infrastructure and not reinvent the wheel. Rural areas are at much more risk of frequent or long power cuts, poor or no mobile or radio signal so a lot of the more high tech options are not likely to work out here. #EmergencyResilience#EmergencyCommunication#DisasterPlanning
