Hmm, maybe we can't really help too much in the afflicted areas...but what about the likely event the FEMA / Red Cross set up "Tent Cities" and temporary refuge camps? All of these people have to go somewhere and from what I have been reading, I don't think that they're going to lodge in a hotel somewhere for a few months.
If anyone knows if there are any plans with Tent Cities...they're perfect candidates for some wireless help.

New Orleans has been issued orders for COMPLETE evacuation. They are moving all the folks out of the shelters to higher ground (refugee camps) North of New Orleans City limits. It will be many months before anyone will be allowed back into New Orleans. Water is still pouring into town as we speak due to levee breaches and is expected to have 9' of water downtown before it quits coming across the levee. A soup bowl cant hold but so much soup. -- Mac Dearman Maximum Access, LLC. www.inetsouth.com 318-728-8600 - Rayville 318-303-4229 318-303-4231 318-450-4349 - Monroe, La 318-303-4227 - NOC Ron Wallace wrote: >What about solar power units, some of the >vendors/manufacturers may be willing to help. > >Ron Wallace > >---- Original message ---- > > >>Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:54:19 -0400 >>From: "Tom DeReggi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: Re: opportunity to help (was Re: [WISPA] Hurricane?- >> >> > worsethanmediasays) > > >>To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> >> >> If we could keep power to our gear and out of the >> water. >> >> >> Tom DeReggi >> RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc >> >> IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: Brian Rohrbacher >> To: WISPA General List >> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 12:06 AM >> Subject: Re: opportunity to help (was Re: [WISPA] >> Hurricane?- worsethanmediasays) >> I don't know how to make it happen, but would sure >> like to go. >> >> Mark Koskenmaki wrote: >> >> Who cares what they "say"? >> >> I'm wondering if there's some way we c ould get >> FEMA to fund a group of us going down there and >> basically putting in an infrastructure so that >> communication is possible.
