Project Title:
*
Project description:
Mass texting system that provides rural village with emergency info. Satellite phones will be provided and distributed by a prestigious mobile phone service such as AT&T or Verizon. This will provide a decent amount of capital and investment for such an extensive project, while allowing for a charitable donation for that company. Regions will be “hot spot” designated, and will be managed and operated individually to provide the specific nature of the information. Regional managers will also train individuals on the system. Villages and towns in rural areas will be provided with a satellite phone designated to a leader in that community. When disaster occurs, a mass text will be sent to any and all potentially effected villages and towns. Leaders of those towns will then provide their individual villages with the necessary information. Leaders can respond and collaborate with Regional managers on how to manage or prepare for the disaster.
