It's a bit outdated but at times, the radio can be a very reliable tool. Hey Awab,

Is there a way to get an emergency frequency for FM Radio? It’s a bit outdated but at times, the radio can be a very reliable tool.

The projects that you have mentioned sound very promising. But I believe that all these services should be on one platform. From personal experience we all have different source which we utilize in emergency. The idea should be to bring all the networks and services together. PS: I have joined the group. waiting for moderators approval :) Thats a great initiative Doc, I have signed up for the group. The projects that you have mentioned sound very promising.

I ve just kicked off a discussion group so people can join in an participate and help develop and evolve this project – one man alone cant do it – it needs any able Pakistani to pitch in ‘for the nation’

Pakistan Emergency Network: http://groups.google.com.pk/group/Pk-EN

it is a restricted group since I believe the core group must be a reliable team – if anyone needs a recommendation please submit in the google group form so we can look further
