Dear All,
We at Internet Policy Observatory Pakistan are running an initiative called
TOPS (Tactical Operations) activated during disasters across Pakistan.
Basically our tactical operations provide the following:
- 1) Tactical Operations team uses portable satellite communications
equipment to provide voice and data communications for aid workers who rely
on these tools to coordinate logistics and deliver lifesaving supplies.
- 2) Provide vital ICT Support (Internet, Telephone, Sat-phone and
E-mail) to first responders and relief organizations.
- 3) Establish multiple communications center equipped with internet,
phone and radio capabilities. In addition, iPOP tactical operations team
also provides free phone calls to people living in temporary camps and
shelters.
- 4) Establish dedicated communication center for women enabling them to
communication and reconnect them with displaced family members.
We have been working jointly with Provincial Disaster Management
Authorities on various missions during floods, earthquake and other man
made disasters. You can learn more about it http://ipop.org.pk/

Internet Policy Observatory Pakistan tactical operations team can establish
satellite based communications system so government agencies, humanitarian
organizations ...
I would be happy to share further insight in to out planning and deployment
if needed.

Arzak Khan

I want to support Steve's request here; as someone who has dabbled in
Disaster Relief it feels like there's an opportunity to do impactful work
in the space but I don't know of any good places to get grounded in the
current state of the art. Can we have any part of the upcoming GAIA meeting
be focused on exploring this topic? Any domain experts in Singapore we can
invite?

Hey folks,
My friend is leasing a place in Richmond and I'd like to help set up some
internet connections at their place. I recall it might be handy to have
some stable spots in this area, and I think this might be a good location.
Let me know if you'd like to talk more about good options. I haven't been
available for usual mesh times lately, but I think I can meet up with
specific folks to talk details at other times. I plan to be at sudo
tomorrow night, weds.
Cheers,
Matt
