Great to see everyone who came to the Meshtastic meetup at Pine Brook HOA. The presentation deck is available online for anyone who wants to review the material.
It was especially exciting to connect ERSN with TCARES and explore the potential to establish a Motherlode Mesh network across our region.
Here are the key resources from the meetup:
Our main goal is to demonstrate consistent off-grid communications within the Ebbetts Pass area and potentially across the Motherlode counties.
Building communication infrastructure to connect beyond our local community to emergency services like San Andreas.
Looking ahead, we discussed several potential initiatives to strengthen our emergency preparedness:
The meetup was a great success in bringing together our community and identifying concrete steps forward. Stay tuned for updates on our progress with the solar node deployments and mesh expansion efforts.
ERSN member Jay will be hosting a 7:30 practice net on Wednesdays for our Forest Meadows Repeater. Many ERSN members up in Arnold may have access also. We are excited to hear from you! Please message us if you would like to be added to Jay’s roll call this Wednesday, June 4th.
Join us for a meetup at Pine Brook HOA for everyone interested in learning more about Meshtastic technology.
ERSN has been invited to participate a second year running and will be raffling off a pair of radios.
This is a great opportunity to introduce friends and family to ERSN and elevate your fire safety skills.
An exciting development in April was the formation of a tech committee for ERSN. Dan, who created and manages our ERSN website, has graciously volunteered to serve as Chair.
Their first project is strengthening our network functionality via Meshtastic texting technology.
Please review the information posted under the resources tab on our ERSN website and email us if you are interested in learning more. Please type “MESH” in the subject line.
Thank you, everyone, who attended our April 12th Spring Meet-up at Pinebrook HOA. Special thanks to Kirt and Colleen for hosting!
Verizon was down for up to five days for multiple Arnold residents this past week. This highlights the importance of having backup communication methods during emergencies.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone this month impacted by the devastating Santa Ana-fueled Southern California fires. Difficulties obtaining accurate information in a timely manner underscored how critical your participation in ERSN is to saving lives. Thank you for being part of our emergency communication network!
