Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, that's the kind of thing, but understandably it also looks limited to Cisco employees.

I get what your seeking now - I wish I knew of an org to suggest. I’ve long felt that there should be some sort of comms focused volunteer org like this. I guess you could say all of the major network operators already have things like mobile lte towers so there may not be a need — but then you see things like Irma and think how well did they do during that event and could ordinary people have coordinated more quickly and effectively? I guess another possibility might be the Red Cross? But again using the examples highlighted in this thread where folks were literally scanning for new fire outbreaks and sending alerts via ham... I don’t see that within red cross’s mandate... seems like there there should be an existing org, I just don’t know what it is called unfortunately.
