When Governments shut down our Internet, there will be few ways to get info or contact each other.
Better start thinking on it… NOW.
For long distance emergency communications, there is Meshtastic . We are learning about Meshtastic, an emergency communications method and protocol, based on MeshNets (decentralized network). The group has members at all levels of technical skill/knowledge, and we are working together to figure it all out. To find a Mesh network in your area, see the MeshMap. Do not be discouraged if there are few or no Mesh nodes nearby – be the first and share the info, and the network will grow.
Here is the Etherpad for asynchronous, anonymous discussion and ideas. This is where meeting dates and locations as well as updates or news will be for now: https://pad.riseup.net/p/meshnetchat-keep
