 Just a thought ...

We have storms that take the grid down and businesses always struggle to communicate with employees and loved ones. What if this was solved?

In a state of emergency when the grid is down, what are the possibilities of notsr to work? Does technology exist beyond the walls of the infrastructure? 🤔

Maybe an emergency app for nostr is already existing or being considered? Maybe it's not possible with mobile devices but I thought I'd throw this idea out here.

 I’m fucked. I only run Damus & it can be removed by Apple in a single click. 
Hmmmmmm.

 Ham radio. Morse code? 
 Oh sorry I didn’t see the original note about the power grid being down.

 The possibilities are infinite with technology. There must be a work a round. 
 Agreed. But I and many would need the help of smart people to make that a reality.  I’m an ideas man. 
 Implementation can be challenging but if there's a will, there's usually a way.  
 I stumbled upon this down the rabbit hole. I'm going to need some quiet time to myself. I'm in the process of mapping out my courses of content.

 I'm going to take a deep dive into this.  
 I followed this guide for my first one and it’s been hanging outside catching all kinds of activity including a few people on planes leaving town. https://meshtastic.org/docs/community/enclosures/rak/harbor-breeze-solar-hack/
