Over the weekend I attended the “Random Hacks of Kindness” event at Swinburne Uni.
Jim Elliott, from the Bureau of Meteorology, had submitted a problem:
Confirm Flood Warning for Safe Action
Many people receiving warnings of rapidly developing disaster situations such as flash flooding often have the following problems:
- They don’t understand that the warning is meant to relate to them
- Even if they did, they may not fully perceive the gravity of the threat
- When they understand the gravity of the situation, they are not aware of the appropriate protective action to take.
