Radios Needed for NOLA Citizens in Houston Astrodome
Below is a post from Sascha Meinrath's blog regarding Community Wireless Emegency Resonse. The people in the Astrodome from New Orleans need communication help. Meinrath's group has a great idea -- radios. They're portable and effective for one way communiocation to large numbers of people. My suggestion - use windup radios like this one or here..

I'm working on coordinating a group of folks to head down to the NOLA area... CNT is sending an advance team down to Rayville, LA and we're taking things from there. If you want to help, let me know -- our main need right now is funding (we're currently paying for everything out of our own pockets). More details on the CUWiN website. Other folks are working to set up a new LPFM radio station at the Astrodome, but need 10,000 radios (and the batteries to run them) before the authorities will allow them on the air. If you have leads, let us know. -- Sascha Meinrath
