Forwarded at Rich's request (he's doing the Rose Festival gig, and not at a terminal today)... -----Original Message----- From: Goerling, Richard J. LT (TAD to CGIC Portland) [mailto:RIGoerling@private] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 8:55 AM To: George Heuston Subject: Wireless Communications during disaster? I'd like to get some input from those of you who have expertise in wireless communications. I know these are rather expansive questions, and the issues related to them, security and otherwise, are myriad. However, the basics are what I'm after: --What are the weaknesses of relying on cell phones, during post-natural disaster or man-made disaster, for a public safety agency's communications (Coast Guard in this case)? --Are other wireless forms of comms more reliable than cell phones? As a part of a broad-based Port Security Plan covering the Oregon, Idaho, Southern Washington region. We are looking at what comms options we should consider as a contingency for a disaster... any input would be appreciated. Regards, Rich Richard Goerling U.S. Coast Guard MSO/Group Portland 6767 N.
