Abstract

This paper proposes a self-contained software suite for post-disaster situations packaged in Linux Live USB flash drive, that enables ad-hoc Information and Communication Technology (ICT) environment. In post-disaster situations, recovery of ICT environment including network and user devices takes certain amount of time. Moreover, resources are limited while online communication is crucial everywhere no matter when and how such recovery happens. However, ICT rescue supply tends to be for heavy duty, expensive, limited in availability, heterogeneous, and large in size (i.e., bigger than a suitcase).Our approach utilizes laptop computers and Linux Live USB flash drive that remain in a disaster affected site and can be easily carried by rescue workers. Our solution is plug-and-play to override the computing and communication resource of a laptop computer without accessing the existing storage drive on it. Our system provides ad-hoc networking, Wi-Fi hotspot, web server and various local online services for immediate use without requiring Internet connection.
