 As part of the US Federal Communications Commission's effort to learn lessons 
from Sandy, and to inform future Commission efforts in this area, I'm putting 
together a technical workshop on lessons we can learn from Sandy. This workshop 
will be attended by senior Commission staff involved in wireless and wireline 
communications, as well as our public safety bureau, and will be open to 
interested researchers on a space-available basis. Unfortunately, we cannot 
provide travel funding. (There will be no charge for the workshop.)  

You are invited to send informal abstract (no more than one page) and bio by 
January 18, 2013, 5 pm. We will then select suitable panelists and notify 
submitters by Jan. 22. Please submit papers to

Topics could include:

- Can we predict the frequency and impact of future storms?

- How do we build communication systems to be more resilient during and after 
natural disasters?

- How can public safety systems, such as 9-1-1, be improved to be more 
survivable and scalable?

- Can we rapidly deploy replacement infrastructure that can basic meet 
communication needs during such events?

- How can we improve how authorities communicate with citizens, beyond standard 
emergency alerting?

- What civil infrastructure improvements can be made and how much do they cost?

- Can smart grid and similar technologies help reduce recovery times?
