Knowing people in catastrophes

Valdis Krebs

“biggest take-away from this year’s MeshForum conference was the FEMA person who was on a panel about connecting in catastrophes. She said something amazing, yet so basic. She talked about Table-Top meetings before any major event.

‘We must KNOW others before working together in an emergency — if we
are strangers at an emergency, that is a BIG problem.’”

    I stumbled across your blog when I googled “bystander apathy.” I liked one of your old entries so much that I referenced it in my blog!

    Hi Stolie
    Thanks for that! And very impressed by your actually breaking through the Bystander Apathy - I realise in a perfect world it shouldn’t, but I really think that took a lot of courage
