>> one of the things I am pursuing is that Hurricane shelters and such be Telecentre's, so that people are actually aware of where they are (snip).
Opposite ends of the emergency spectrum Taran however I have been advocating for many years for the use of Telecentre's as EOC's (Emergency Operations Centre's) for major Australian bushfires in rural and remote locations - There is much synergy in the roles, equipment and skills of EOC's and Telecentre's and sometimes duplication is unnecessary. Many of our Telecentre's are equipped with UHF radio on emergency operating channels, map and resource allocation boards, GPS equipment and other items essential for the use of Emergency Planning or Logistics Teams - or even for the vital function of providing communications continuity for the whole community. I think the concept of compiling a list of items required by Telecentre's has merit and the lists provided offer a good spread of generic items - although in my experience equipment and software requirements do vary considerably from Telecentre to Telecentre (and community to community).
