As the Christchurch Earthquake and Cyclone Gabrielle have shown, in an environmental disaster, Internet infrastructure and mobile communications are unreliable at best.
This 2 hour session will introduce participants to the Meshtastic platform, a post-internet mesh network in broad use in Pōneke/Wellington. Meshtastic allows for sending messages even in a total blackout, right from your phone. The Lower North Island already enjoys a very populous and active Meshtastic mesh, with many members focused on preparedness. Come and learn how you can help strengthen and grow the community!
