COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE
I suggested a communication system using an app, like Waze or Google Maps, which would allow those in a disaster area, including inhabitants, builders, and construction workers, to have access to current and site-specific traffic conditions and other relevant safety information. If WAZE agreed to set up such a program, everyone who uses the app could send and receive information on it. If it works well, it could become a pilot program for other disaster or emergency situations anywhere in the nation -- such as fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, gas leaks, major police activity, etc.

I am a member of the Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) Logistics & Traffic ATF established to finding optimal solutions for the rebuilding of the Pacific Palisades community after the disastrous fire that completely destroyed our city in January 2025.
A central component of the framework is the formation of PPCC Advisory Task Forces (ATFs) to ensure broad community representation, coordinated action, and consistent communication. The ATFs will provide community-based analysis and recommendations on recovery and rebuilding to the PPCC through a Community Recovery Coordination Council (CRCC), which is responsible for organizing and coordinating the overall framework.

I believe that it would be an enormous advantage to establish a communication program that will allow those in the disaster area including the inhabitants, the builders, the equipment contractors, the construction workers to have access to the most current site-specific traffic conditions as well as other relevant safety information. With WAZE as the anchor of this program, one could include direct information for and from everyone that uses the application. I realize that it is not something that now exists but it would be something for which we could be a pilot program and be used for fire, Tsunami, earthquake, gas leak, major police activity throughout the nation in the future.
