Firenet just went through some of this along the east coast, where
one gentleman was at his activated EOC, getting weather reports from
firenet using ham tcp/ip when all other access was down. These were
the only weather reports they were able to get at the time during
the ice storms they had back there. He requested a special firenet
feed for a 150 mile radius centered on the EOC location in order to
keep the number of packets small.
