Urgent: demand real-time data feeds as part of bank bill

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

This is urgent, because of the scope and speed of the banking bailout legislation. I urge you to act on it asap.

I just blogged on the Huffington Post (a shorter version appeared here last week: I pulled it and submitted to Huffington because of its greater reach and clout) that there’s a methodology that […]

Ike’s lessons: is alternative to single evacuation path no possible?

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I’m just speculating on this, but it does seem to me — as I blogged during Rita (when there were considerably fewer GPS’s on the road) — that it ought to be at least technologically possible today to not order everyone in Houston to evacuate via I-10.
Instead, since we can precisely identify where a car […]

With Hanna & Ike coming, my emergency use of Qik tip is on YouTube

Friday, September 5th, 2008

With Hanna & Ike now barreling down on us, I’ve just posted the newest of my “21st-century disaster tips you WON’T hear from officials” videos on YouTube.

This one deals with using Qik to stream “situational awareness” to your neighbors and — if they’re clued in — local police and fire officials.As I say, as of […]

Gustavfeed & Gustav Info Center: great examples of my tips in action!

Monday, September 1st, 2008

There’s a great new Twitter feed today, Gustavfeed, done by social media strategist Joe Solomon,
It is sampling Twitter-related posts from sites including:

Utterz
Twitter
blip.tv
YouTube
Technorati
Vimeo

Hmm. Don’t see anything from Qik — are you monitoring them, Joe?
IMHO, if you are a first responder or if you’re directly affected and you need to get first-hand situational awareness, you […]

(un) Ready.gov: they still don’t get it

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

PARDON ME FOR SHOUTING, BUT I’VE BEEN ON (UN) READY.GOV’S CASE SINCE THEY WERE CREATED ABOUT THEIR FAILURE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CREATIVE USE OF CELL PHONES AND OTHER MOBILE, PERSONAL, NETWORKED COMMUNICATION DEVICES PLUS WEB 2.0 APPS — ESPECIALLY ONES SUCH AS TWITTER THAT FACILITATE MOBILE SOCIAL NETWORKS.
HOWEVER, I JUST CHECKED THEIR HURRICANE PAGE, […]

Gustav: my emergency tips can save lives

Friday, August 29th, 2008

BTW: Since today is the 3rd anniversary of Katrina, and the Bush Administration totally dropped the ball not only during Katrina but also afterwards, I hope you’ll follow the Unitarian-Universalist Service Committee’s lead, take the Hurricane Katrina Third Anniversary Quiz to test how much you know about what happened (and hasn’t!) and, Ask your U.S. […]

Another “21st-century disaster tip”: using Qik in an emergency

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

As you know by now, I luv Twitter’s ability to share location-based, real-time information in a disaster,

and geo-tagged Flickr photos also provided invaluable situational awareness in the San Diego wildfires last year.However, IMHO, there’s nothing like live, streaming video to provide a wealth of information about fast-changing disasters, so I just did this streaming video […]
