25 Shelters to be Connected Near Bay St Louis
September 14th, 2005The Wireless Team, comprised of CNT staff, CUWiN volunteers, WISPA professionals and more, is working in both Bay St Louis, MS and Ponchatoula, LA with the Emergency Operation Center to connect 25 shelters with broadband and related resources. Each of the shelters has 100-150 evacuees. The Wireless Crew will set up computers and VoIP phones at each of the sites. The contribution of support and supplies has been quite overwhelming. We would like to extend our utmost gratitude to the Disaster Relief Network, CDW, Lt Governor Pat Quinn and his staff, Pacific Wireless, and Metrix Communications. There are not enough words to express the appreciation for great generosity and commitment.
