It was on an early Monday morning that she found herself in a flooding emergency. Phone lines were down and emergency crews were almost impossible to reach, but luckily, managed to find and rescue Sally hours later.
Having a first-hand experience of feeling hopeless, stuck, and alone in a natural emergency, Sally knew something had to be done to prevent this from happening to someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This moment led her to become an emergency organizer in her community to help others prepare for future emergencies and provide people with resources that may just save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sally’s experience is a reminder that we can all overcome adversity and come out stronger on the other side. If you’re facing a difficult situation, remember that you have the power to change your future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, let\u2019s hear from Sally\u2014we\u2019re ready to hear your story and learn about your game-changing emergency Map view in ClickUp<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n Hey! I\u2019m Sally. \ud83d\udc4b\ud83d\ude0a I’m an entrepreneurial creative come social activist who specializes in using engagement to affect meaningful change in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve worked on countless community projects as well as social, economic, and commercial initiatives and believe that change starts with the individual and through strategic campaigns can gain momentum to make a difference in the world. Hours later, when I was rescued, I recharged my phone and the post had over 1,000 comments! <\/p>\n\n\n\n My own experiences in this have been incredibly empowering and I\u2019ve found a sense of purpose in the way that the community can help lead and navigate emergency situation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s now my personal mission to help any community groups, individuals, or volunteer organizations who are attempting to set up tech-led emergency response plans, as much as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With my background in running an agency, leading and coordinating emergency response plans was second nature and fulfilling. This is a passion of mine so I\u2019m happy to offer my time for free and help wherever I can in these support efforts. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n I\u2019m currently managing a Lismore-based Marketing and Design agency called Lion & Lamb<\/a>. We service clients from all around the world, with varying needs, from small business owners to large organizations with a specialization in pharmaceutical, patient advocacy groups, and corporate healthcare design\u2014using design as a medium for human-centric storytelling and our tight-knit passionate team lives and breathes our motto #agencydonedifferently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We also support a huge variety of businesses in the Northern Rivers, giving us a unique combination of small business passion and large-scale experience. <\/p>\n\n\n ClickUp is a common denominator for all of our design agency projects<\/a> and for my emergency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love it\u2014its flexibility made it the natural choice for the flood emergency response. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I used Clickup to triage all of the Facebook post requests where people were asking for help and then give it to the SES and police to assist with their rescues. I also created a Map view<\/a> (setting colors to ‘status’ tab and location) which assisted boats with finding people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bonus: Map making software<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my day-to-day agency life, I love the time tracking function<\/a> because it allows me to really check my quoting estimates against our billable and nonbillable time. In this rescue scenario, having the data be able to be displayed in various ways (Map, Board, List) was invaluable. \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n\n\n It’s invaluable in so many ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a professional sense, it means nothing gets missed. In a rescue sense, it was exactly the same, and I loved that multiple people could work on a task, and it’s all accountable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve been told that there hasn\u2019t been an emergency response system quite like this one\u2014the way I used it allowed us to track in real-time who needed rescue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our team of over 50 online volunteers updated who was rescued, added comments, spoke to family members, and so on to gather as much info as possible such as roof color. We also use the tasks to manage and note confirmation of the people that have been rescued. <\/p>\n\n\n The Map view allowed us to see what areas needed attention, as well as allowed boats direction to addresses. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The game-changer here was when phone lines were down in a major emergency (and this isn’t the first time it’s happened) this was able to be used to fill the gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve created a template that I hope will be able to be used by others in future emergencies too. This template was created and used in the Lismore 2022 floods<\/a> to field rescues when the phone lines went down and emergency services became unreachable. We\u2019ll continue to use and improve this template to help save lives. After the Lismore floods, like many, I’m rebuilding my own life. It’s been two months since the floods but our town and our people are still struggling and trying to rebuild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve been focusing on trying to work with the government to integrate systems like this officially into their emergency response, as well as creating a template version for community-led rescue groups to use in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set up your Board properly from the start.

I stepped up as a community organizer after my own rescue. When phone lines went down, thousands in the Lismore flood could not call emergency services for help. I put up a post on a Facebook group I ran calling people who needed help to comment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Sally](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image9-2.png\")
