Linux, Raspberry PI, RTLSDR, LAME, and Open Source: A Recipe For Responding To Natural Disasters

Audience:
Topic:

What do Linux, Raspberry Pi, RTLSDR, LAME, and other open source tools have
to do with responding and helping out before and after natural disasters? It
turns out, a lot. Learn how open source hardware and software, plus a little
bit of ham radio know how, can helped communities react and respond to
natural disasters including wild fires, hurricanes, floods, and more -- all
through bridging the gap between monitoring local radio channels (police,
fire, emergency, ham, and other radio frequencies), aircraft position
information (ADS-B) and the Internet.  We'll cover both the why's and how's
of putting together your own Raspberry Pi-based, open source system to help
your own local community tap into the power of the crowdsourcing and social
media emergency management.
