After a long month, our Region 9 team is wrapping up at the #DixieFire. Crews have been providing connectivity at the incident base camp where nearly 7,000 first responders were stationed during the height of the fire.
Recovery begins, thx to our friends at @funds4disaster & @HP

Residents of Boyd Manor, a low-income residence for senior citizens, are still without power after a week of living in the dark. We just distributed portable battery packs and LED head lamps so they can run a nebulizer, charge their phones, and plug in a lamp

We don’t think we will be replacing 💯 of fossil fuels anytime soon, But #microgrids with #solar are a very important part of disaster recovery - Help us #BuildBackGreener

Search and Rescue continues after #HurricaneIda and real time visibility to rescue aircraft is imperative. Our MCC in NOLA is equipped with an ADS-B Flight Feeder, that makes aircraft location data available publicly. See our @FlightAwareADSB stats here: flightaware.com/adsb/stats/u…

This week we demobilize our Mobile Operations Center from the Dallas County Mega Vaccination Site. MOC2 has served as the field command center for local, state, and federal teams working at the site - which delivered more than 500K vaccination shots over the last 6 months.

ITDRC delivered connectivity to the Pueblo Nations, NM. "The schools provide Chromebooks, but when the kids get home they can't use them," says Jeremy Yepa, Pueblo IT. "We are grateful for this Internet, this has made my job very rewarding." #ConnectAmerica #CommIsAid

Our team connected @ywdetroit as part of our projectConnect initiative. Students did not have the tech to complete homework or enter summer programs. Youthworks will use the WiFi to help students with distance learning, writing resumes and submitting job applications #CommIsAid

ITDRC Co-founder Chris Hillis explains how our COVID-19 #projectConnect initiative "spread like wildfire".

♻️The ability to communicate after a disaster is critical but we don't often hear how that happens. In this episode we talk with @ITDRC to learn how they're able to enable first responders and displaced families to communicate in trying times bit.ly/36hEkHs

In Washington State, our #HomeworkHotspots are connecting hundreds of students with their teachers. But given the signs at Harrington Elementary, it feels more like we're connecting teachers with the students! #MondayMotivation
