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
http://edas.info/N14177
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?
