What preparations should we make to prepare for various disaster scenarios? I imagine that I need to involved in planning at different levels:<\/p>\n

\n
• as individuals within a household<\/li>\n
• as a block within the neighborhood level<\/li>\n
• at the city level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Individuals\/Families<\/h1>\n

  Ideally, in an emergency, I'd like to be able to grab my laptop, tablet, phone, and backup batteries in addition to the standard emergency supplies. Accordingly, I should figure out how to make that more likely: what to fill my to-go bags, where to store them, and how to keep them up to date.<\/p>\n

  What happens when I can't grab my laptop or have to abandon it (like having to evacuate a plane or BART or if I'm out and about and an earthquake happens)? I'd like to still have a USB keychain and a phone ideally. What should be on the USB keychain and my phone?<\/p>\n

  But what if I have nothing but the clothes on my back and all my gear is destroyed -- how to prepare for that situation? My quick response is: I'd like to have a master password (that I can share with my spouse) with which I can use with a network connection to recover a core set of files. For example, study the models at:<\/p>\n

  • Sign in using backup codes - Google Account Help<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Neighborhood<\/h1>\n

    One of the main challenges is organizing neighborhood level information and ensuring accessibility and updatability during an emergency situaion. It seems like Neighborhood

    City<\/h1>\n

    As someone organizing CERT across Albany, I'm getting up to speed on strategies for coordinating people across the city after a large scale emergency. I working on getting a clearer understanding of the city's tech plans for a disaster.<\/p>\n

    I don't know the likelihood that cellular or wifi networks will be functioning after a big disaster -- though we should plan for large scale outages. I'm wondering about whether mesh networks will be deployed, such as those described in Responding to disaster with IoT and SDN mesh | TechCrunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Also, is there a network of amateur radio operators ready to jump in with a diaster in the East Bay? I believe East Bay Amateur Radio Club<\/a> could be such an organization. Emergency Communications Driving Increase in Amateur Radio Operators<\/a> provides some context behind the force that has gotten me interested in amateur radio. What is Ham Radio<\/a> is a good introduction for people interested in using amateur radio for emergency coordination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
