Problems: Connectivity● First, physical infrastructure is damaged

Problems: Connectivity● As a result, the information infrastructure
(phone/internet) is unavailable or unreliable

From Oct. 29-31 of last year, as Hurricane Sandy was pounding the East Coast of the United States, the researchers conducted Internet-wide scans every two hours. After linking IP addresses to geographic locations, they could observe which areas saw the most severe disruptions. This map shows “locations with more than a 30 percent decrease in the number of listening hosts.”

Problems: Logistics● “Inefficiency in relief efforts is the #1 problem.”
-Noreen, in yesterday’s skype call
● It was also stated that supplies being crossed up en route from the regional hubs was also a major problem.
● Both of these boil down to a communication breakdown, which is exacerbated by the failure of the information infrastructure.

Current Solutions
● Influx of aid to regions, inefficient distribution

Current Solutions
● Trucks with satellite links connect to the internet, but still leave regions “in the dark”

Our Solution
The InternetInexpensive, Distributed Local Data Hubs. Can be offline, and sync to Internet data sources when online.
Apps with offline capability to collect needs from and distribute information to affected areas

Demo!!!
● Focus here is narrow - on missing persons and resource allocation
● Can really apply to any communications○ Maps of Outages○ Alternate Transportation Routes○ News

Future Concepts
● Extend Range○ Daisy-Chained Pi Devices○ Wireless Repeaters
● Data Analytics to build Resilience○ Areas needing most resources and having most
missing persons need improved infrastructure● Connect to More Centralized Services● Applications in non-disaster regions
