LPWAN Meshes: ClusterDuck Protocol - Purpose-Built for Emergencies
The ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was where my mesh networking journey truly began. The story behind Project OWL (Organisation, Whereabouts, and Logistics)—students building emergency communication networks after Hurricane Maria—resonated deeply, highlighting a technology designed not for hobbyists or industry, but for saving lives when infrastructure fails. While I found its concepts “much better thought through” from the outset, the project’s slow pace and patchy hardware support meant my personal involvement never truly moved beyond some initial tinkering.The ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was where my mesh networking journey truly began.

For the past year we’ve been quietly building CareLink, an ecosystem for youth mental health in disasters.
Most of the time the crises felt far away: Türkiye’s earthquakes, displaced youth in Poland.
Then Portugal was hit by storms.

Disasters don’t end when the news cycle moves on.
CareLink exists because our systems are not yet built to hold that reality.

I'm especially interested in community collaboration, rebuilding, not just "handing out the care packages".
