Speaking Points
|
|
What about the technology
the ideal system would use? What
should it look like?
|
|
•It should be able to come with you wherever you need to be – outdoors,
deep in buildings, etc.. It should
also have a large coverage area without “dead spots” where you cannot use the
equipment
|
|
•It should be reliable. Things
get dropped, bumped, etc. frequently in the chaos of a disaster.
|
|
•You can’t depend on an electrical outlet in a disaster without a
generator and batteries that have a short life will run out quickly.
|
|
•You’ll have lots of other things to do and carry, so the technology
can’t be heavy or bulky
|
|
•Sometimes you need to share confidential information. Your technology should be able to keep
others from listening in.
|
|
•Communication is about more than phone conversations. The more your technology can do (e-mail,
fax, access the internet, send files, etc.) the more useful it is to you.
|
|
•Everyone has limited funds.
The ideal technology doesn’t help you if you can’t afford it.
