Those impacted by Auckland flooding can now access an innovative new tool developed by a young Oratia local. The online platform enables residents to tag areas of concern on a map, marking locations that may require assistance concerning private or public properties. The tool will not only help streamline the process of identifying which areas are most in need of support but also provides valuable information for emergency services, local authorities and volunteer organizations.
The developer calls it 'Hearts and Hands' and says it will help locals locate incidents and pin the type of incident on a map for assistance (anyone can pin or volunteer). The tool can be accessed at www.heartsandhands.co.nz
As the roads get cleared, individuals have the opportunity to identify problems on their personal or community property that require assistance.
The crowd-sourced tool is user-friendly and easily accessible, making it a valuable resource for communities affected by floods. Users can go on to the website, access the map and tag the location of any areas that have been affected by floods. The tool also helps people find ways to volunteer and support communities affected by floods. The map allows users to see the areas and the emergencies they can help with.
