Optimizing Amateur Radio Resources for Major Oisasters

摘要

Hams have a long history of technical development for disaster preparedness. The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has tapped a technically savvy group of hams in the Washington, DC area to develop last resort e-mail communications for three area hospitals. This ambitious project has created a new approach to providing e-mail service to large groups of users during major disasters.
