Internet shutdowns are devastating for human rights. We can’t rely on tech oligarchs to save us, especially when these same companies and governments are the ones to sever our access to the internet and telecommunications. This is why it's important to set up communication mechanisms before a disaster happens.

This is actually very helpful, so thank you for that. The link is informative, too. I've been wanting to get into this for a while, but the DIY-esque of meshtastic put me off for the time being. I've got too much going on right now to invest all this time to just get started, and wanted something a little more plug/play to get going quickly, with the option to learn the spec details and expand upon when life "cools off". Meshcore might be that system.
