How can survivors communicate their location and get the supplies they need? White Box Emergency Communications aims to solve this problem by repurposing an existing protocol, automatic packet reporting system (APRS), developed by the amateur radio community for emergency communications. By making APRS more accessible, affordable, and easy to use, it allows responders to see status updates, view GPS coordinates, and communicate independently with survivors via this long-established wireless technology.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Thesis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pia Zaragoza White Box Emergency Communications is a radio-based emergency communications system that is accessible, affordable, and easy to use that can be deployed when modern communication methods are down during a disaster. www.pzaragoza.net\/whitebox Description Modern communication methods rely heavily on cell phone towers and internet connections, which, during disasters are either offline or reserved &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/white-box-communications\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">White Box Communications<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10710,9670,462,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heather-greer","category-pia-zaragoza","category-projects","category-thesis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1070"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1070"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1942,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1070\/revisions\/1942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/spring2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
