Project Description
"Smart Ways to Live" is an interactive educational app that increases community resilience using a fun and innovation method.
The app highlights strategies and information utilising modern technology that connects Young People ages 10 -12 to educational content that has real-life application.
This app's potential is an outreach to the Mainstream Education System by utilising smart devices to deliver content that compliments existing Disaster Management literature.
Data Story
Our data is unique, some would say is unorthodox but we say it's perfect!
We utilised the following data:
- Disaster event classification, major disasters by region, Disaster ID Disaster Identifier, Disaster Event, Name, Name of Disaster Event, Disaster Event Date, Disaster, Activation Start Date, Region/s, Departmental region names used 2011-2017.
This data allowed us to create and illustrate:
- Checklists for the preparedness of people in the Queensland Community, and the overall preparation for their household .
- identifying key costs in terms of community recovery and individual assistance grants, to build around and support relevant literature.
This was made possible through the use of an information system for easy access to recovery centres in a disaster event location that can build easy connections to knowledge.
Thank you for allowing us to share our story - Happy Hacking!
All of this data paints a picture on how we can effectively build and create an amazing model for a social enterprise!
This data has enormous potential to better inform real life disaster planning, and can have a massive impact on Mainstream Education.
This app will further improve regional economic development, overall sustainability and increased awareness and education that will build resilience and create greater connected communities throughout Australia.
