FCC Seeks Tech Donations for Katrina Aid

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the without-a-paddle dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BoingBoing is reporting on the FCC accepting donations of tech services and equipment: 'Lack of communications systems has been identified as a critical issue holding back aid, missing persons, law enforcement, etc. in crisis areas. FCC personnel are working throughout the weekend to coordinate these efforts with private industry, with wireless technology groups, FEMA, and state governments in Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.' Efforts are being organized through PART-15.ORG."

    Just makes you wonder how America would cope with a nuclear attack, or a tsunami. After just a localised flood an entire city is reduced to third-world status. Anarchy, starvation, disease, rape, police unable to keep control, martial law, helicopters being attacked, it's something you'd expect in Baghdad or Afghanistan.

    And the idea of armed gangs going round stealing, looting and raping, shooting at helicopters and the police, just shows what a disgrace the 2nd Ammendment is.
