Groupings for Emergency Preparedness
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:44 am
I'm wondering if anyone has already posted ideas on this topic? I apologize if I'm repeating.
Our ward has been using the new mapping system for our emergency preparedness plan. We've designated our leaders for this category with the mapping system, but unfortunately we're just ahead of the curve on being able to group people with those leaders in our organized blocks. If we try to use the current mapping tools it physically moves the map icon/location for that household to the emergency leader's address as one grouping. This won't work as when ward members go to the map for other purposes they wouldn't be able to see where the household's location is on the map. It's so close to the right ability of grouping, but just enough off that it's not practical. To do the work manually is daunting and impractical as the moment you get done building a map the list will be outdated with changes to move-ins/outs.
We would like to see the ability to group households into blocks with the designated emergency preparedness leaders. The block leaders need to have access to the households they have stewardship over for correspondence and communication purposes. This grouping option in our minds would work just like those on the main LDS site of leadership groups, etc. We would simply be able to show/group certain households to geographic block organizations.
Any input is appreciated!
Thank you,
Holly
