I recall Jim stating how important it would be for municipalities to have a way to activate cyclists in response to disasters and work on that coordination before it happens. Something I think about a lot.

Kia ora! Hello!

I run an org called BikeAid NZ and we formed after the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. Happy to share any insight especially with pandemic prep. I also spoke about forming RAD Bikes in post-quake Christchurch at Detroit Bike!Bike! 2016. There may be a preso I can dig up.

Hi! Yes, Luisa Fernanda and I led that workshop in LA. 

I don't think we have any documentation from it, we just made some maps by hand and basically talked about our experience after the 2017 earthquake. 

I'm happy to share more details about what we went through or if there's anything in particular you want to know!

Jim from Mexico city either led or was part of it. I was so bummed to miss it!

The synopsis I got from him was: Bikes are really useful after an earthquake - being a bike messenger and thinking about delivering emergency supplies like a bike messenger company (i.e. a dispatch and lots of people with radios on bikes throughout the city) is a good way to move things. And also, it was great how the bike share system of Mexico city just unlocked all the bikes and let people use them. Not many were stolen during the time which is nice to hear.

I wish I knew more of the details. I think you know Jim? Maybe ask and then report back to us a more filled out synopsis.

Hey friends!

I recall a workshop presented by a shop in CDMX on an emergency prep bike that was offering earthquake support. 

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there any documentation or someone who can remind me of the details? Don't want to reinvent the wheel ha ha 

Thank you,

Sunny
