Return to Article: After Katrina, Justice weighs changes to wireless communications upgrade
-
13082
Justice is doing the right thing by reassessing its options. Communications is important and redundant systems should be considered including wireless and satellite, to take advantage of all possible means of restoring communications. There should also be some consideration given to the using of blimps as airborne command posts that could loiter over an impacted area, and direct operations at economic costs.
There should also be more use of onsite distributed power generation at government facilities, and a special "government" electric power "tariff" that gives priority to restoration of service to government, and emergency responders. These measures can speed relief and restoration efforts.
