Anyone wishing to get more involved in emergency comms would be well
advised to begin by obtaining a radio license, study can be done on the
web:

When you can pass effectively drop me a line, I'll find you a testing
location.
High capacity trunks comprised of wifi links definitely have /great/
potential in wide-area disasters where communications bottlenecks are most
prone.

Subject: [nycwireless] Formal disaster response capabilities?
Rising Seas and Stronger Storms Threaten New York City
http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20061025/sc_space/risingseasandstrongerstormsthreatennewyorkcity
At various times we have discussed building a more formal disaster response
capability as part of NYCwireless. I was thinking some of the aspect of the
program could be:
1. NYCw volunteers trained to deploy mobile wireless kits to provide
emergency comms after a disaster.
2. Getting cross trained on Ham emergency response operations. Learn how to
do coordinated disaster response with NYC A.R.E.S. district.
3. Development of web tools that assist with emergency communication during a
disaster.
4. Running a field day where we participate with local authorities disaster
response simulation.
Thoughts? Seems like a perfect project for Terry to lead . :-)
