in a typical disaster scenario, many of whuch have been studied in
great detail,  people have to make do with resources they have to
hand

they may be spread over a large area (e.g all of indonesia, japan,
california) and not be prepared with giant ballons as you desribed

what many DO have is phones and laptops.

manets can be usefully built out of these.

in a military scenario i menion, your giant ballon idea is a great
target for the other side

in the vehicular scenario i menion, a giant ballon would be a big
drag, especially when you go through tunnels and under bridges.

your move, sunshine.
