Geeks help out Hurricane victims
Joel Johnson (formerly of Gizmodo), is now putting together a team and equipment to help FEMA get some communications networks running for Katrina effected regions.
When a gadget geek asks himself what he can do to help, it's nice to know that there is in fact a lot that can be done.
Hey folks, it’s Joel. I’m getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for Houston, as part of a team of volunteers working with CU Wireless (under the auspice of the FCC and FEMA) to establish wireless communications networks in the Gulf Coast region. We’re in need of equipment and supplies in the Houston or Baton Rouge area.If you’re in Houston we really, really could use your help (or if you are a corporate agent outside of Houston, we could use your help, too). I’ll list what we need after the jump (preview: it includes a bitchin’ van, preferably with a wizard on the side).
