Flood Watch — from risk check to evacuation progress

Summary

Staff check risk and response status by zone on the monitoring screen, and can deliver alerts to evacuation support staff and the people they support following procedures set by the institution. Evacuation progress is then gathered back onto the monitoring screen.

From detection to evacuation-complete report

When rainfall is detected, app alerts reach staff, evacuation support staff and residents. While evacuation is under way, its status is relayed to the monitoring screen, and completion reports are gathered by neighborhood.

The whole process is recorded for after-action review and the next response plan.
