Floods: volunteer registration

The event

During the 2022 flooding season in NSW, Australia, Lismore experienced one of the worst flood events seen in years.

The response

The ERT joined Resilient Lismore, a local civil society organization, and rapidly created the digital infrastructure to provide community support.

The outcome

The ERT created a scalable solution to register over 700 community volunteers and match them with thousands of requests for jobs that came in, including house rebuilding, rubbish removal, matching wellbeing needs and population mapping.
