Concerned about this year's hurricanes? Add your voice to the Pulver/Evslin petition
If hurricane Katrina revealed anything last year, it was the lack of a comprehensive technology infrastructure to handle post-disaster communications. While we wait and wonder what exactly the dept. of Homeland Security has done with all those billions, Jeff Pulver and Tom Evslin have taken action and filed a petition with the FCC to start the process of bringing present-day technologies to bear on the problem. What can you do? Simple -- follow the instructions here and let the FCC know that you too care about what happens when the next storm hits.
After Katrina last year, there was a fairly sizeable outpouring of concern from the tech community, wondering how we could use our collective smarts to help. Commenting on the petition is a good way to start.
