Our CSL project involves upgrading NSEMO’s (North Shore Emergency Management Office) emergency public alerting system, Rapid Notify. Our goals that should be met by the end of February are as follows:
- Determine best methods of marketing
- Engage the public to participate and register
- Improve NSEMO’s user manual
- Examine Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
Our team consists of 6 members:
Laura Bickford is originally from Victoria, BC, but now considers herself a permanent resident of Vancouver. Laura spent the last summer working on the PMH1 Improvement Project and hopes to continue working in construction management or transportation design.
Luke deBruijn completed his first year of engineering studies at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops and is starting his second year here at UBC. He looks forward to working with NSEMO this year.
Jennifer Law is a second year civil engineer student from Vancouver. She and Surabhi is in charge of the blog update for this project.
Surabhi Prasad is a second year civil engineering student at UBC. She plans on applying for an architectural degreee after graduation and hopes to continue in that field.
Angie Smythe grew up in the Okanagan where she played and coached soccer and enjoyed the outdoors. Now living in Vancouver, she likes running along Jericho Beach, taking in the beautiful views of the city. She is interested in both structural and transportation engineering.
Erika Tuomi is a second year civil engineering student at UBC from Smithers, BC. She plays on the UBC women’s rugby team and is the Communications Team Lead for the UBC Engineers Without Borders chapter.
Great start! I’m looking forward to hearing more in the coming weeks.
