University of Waterloo: The wildfire paradox: How social media quickens response but strains resources. “Social media posts are a double-edged sword for public agencies that respond to emergencies such as wildfires.

LPWAN Meshes: ClusterDuck Protocol - Purpose-Built for Emergencies
The ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was where my mesh networking journey truly began. The story behind Project OWL (Organisation, Whereabouts, and Logistics)—students building emergency communication networks after Hurricane Maria—resonated deeply, highlighting a technology designed not for hobbyists or industry, but for saving lives when infrastructure fails. While I found its concepts “much better thought through” from the outset, the project’s slow pace and patchy hardware support meant my personal involvement never truly moved beyond some initial tinkering. -

The work suddenly felt closer to home.
Disasters don’t end when the news cycle moves on.
CareLink exists because our systems are not yet built to hold that reality.

Working on planning a state level exercise which involves a volcano eruption scenario. The exercise team asked if I thought it was a good idea, I said yes, especially the chance of lahard (typo) and debris flows. The working title shared with me this week: Lahar'd Times 😆
Not my first choice but lolol
