To an extent, I feel good that the Secure Scuttlebutt guys are behind this. A good direction to develop would be to talk to FEMA and its global counterparts.

A good direction to develop would be to talk to FEMA and its global counterparts. There is literature on what is needed in disaster. Instead of an insular tech-world development of such a platform having disaster response practitioner insights might be useful.
- paidforby 7y agoFor sure, SSB is a cool community. Cel wrote demo software that allowed a disaster radio node to post messages to SSB. Check out the source on git-ssb, https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25SyAU1pa6g6yYcELjTrBG4JY41vjuP6HSvAo%2BmsrP0Sg%3D.sha256 https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25SyAU1pa6g6yYcELjTrBG4JY41vjuP6H... And agreed, once we have stable hardware and firmware, talking to local disaster response practitioners would be a great way do test deployments and get feedback on the software design and usability. I'm curious about the disaster-related literature you referenced, would love to read it.
