Safety-Emergency-Disaster Preparation
During and after a disaster, no one organization can meet the needs of an affected community alone, but by working together and coordinating our efforts, we (as a Net-Work of Volunteers and Organizations) can get a lot more done. VOAD does not tell organizations what to do, but helps coordinate and share information from the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) to help volunteers better focus their efforts without duplication.

German Startup Turns Shop Awnings Into Mini Solar Power Plants
German startup Solar Markise has developed photovoltaic awnings that provide shade while generating electricity for homes and businesses. Its SolarMarkise systems are available in 1.35 kW and 1.8 kW versions, using rollable solar fabric mounted on aluminum frames.
The larger 1.8 kW model measures about 4.35 × 3 meters, while both versions provide waterproofing and UV protection. The awnings can also withstand winds up to Beaufort force 5 when fully extended.
The systems are designed mainly for self-consumption, making them particularly suitable for restaurants, cafés and other businesses with outdoor spaces. The company has already installed pilot systems at a café in Cologne, where the awnings provide shade while supplying electricity directly to the business.
Priced from €4,499 to €5,499, the solar awnings cost around 10%–15% more than high-quality conventional awnings. Solar Markise plans to expand across Germany, Austria and Switzerland while developing other solar-powered shading products such as roller shutters and parasols.
