The event

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

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.
