Due to the mismatching of schedules, our information session with the North Shore Emergency Management Office will not occur until Wednesday, February 6th. Without obtaining more information, we are not able to relay the details of our project. Instead, this blog post will contain what we are planning to do and the division of different responsibilities.

Our current focus is on setting up the resources, file distribution system that we will use, communication fronts, and the scheduling of team meetings. With the information that was already provided to us, a rough schedule could be constructed. From the information, we can see that this project will be broken into four distinct components: researching, developing a plan for the emergency supply chain (which can be further broken down once we have more details), creating a report to showcase our plan, and creating a presentation. 

With those 4 general steps in mind, it is easy to see that a majority of the focus will be on the research and planning phases. Given that this project will end during late March, we will have approximately eight weeks to complete everything. With those eight weeks, five will most likely go into research and planning, two into writing the report, and one week in composing the presentation.

Our group has decided to meet once a week to keep each other updated. Currently, Herman is tasked with keeping up the technical back-end (technical drawings, file systems, and information distribution), Coco, Carrie, and Ibtida are focusing on research, and Weike (pronounced “wake”) will be mainly handling communications.
