After an emergency, conduct a thorough review to refine the Emergency Communication Plan (ECP), update resources, expand the PNK network, and sustain preparedness through community engagement and annual readiness drills.

Conduct Post-Emergency Review

  • Organize debrief sessions with stewards and community members to evaluate the effectiveness of the PNK deployment and communication plan.
  • Collect and analyze data on PNK usage, communication patterns, and challenges faced during the emergency.

Improve the ECP

  • Revise the Emergency Communication Plan based on lessons learned, ensuring it becomes more robust and reflective of community needs.
  • Update and refresh any PNK-stored content and resources to maintain relevance for future emergencies.

Expand and Sustain

  • Strengthen the local PNK and mesh network infrastructure to include additional nodes and community sites.
  • Encourage ongoing stewardship by creating opportunities for community members to engage with and maintain the PNKs.

Annual Readiness Check

  • Schedule yearly drills to rehearse emergency communication protocols and ensure equipment functionality.
  • Revisit and update the ECP annually, incorporating new technologies, community changes, and expanded network capacities.
