 Hey, my name is Chris Nancy. Thank you for coming to our neighborhood meeting I'm going to share with you the system that we're deploying for those of you who couldn't join us today This is recorded. So hopefully you can see this just fine And we'll go ahead and get through this very quickly and hopefully everything will start to make sense The system that we built is to really start to help us get our heads around how to organize and Get all of our different neighbors together in the same place So I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen and walk you through some of this right now So what I noticed was there's a lot of information being shared on our next door Sometimes it's new stats. Sometimes it's medical advice. Sometimes it's people wanting to help. Sometimes it's people who Feel like they need help Just a lot for people to take in and what I wanted to do was create something to marry those two groups of people So I want to walk you through kind of this for our agenda The first thing we're gonna do is a little bit of introductions who I am why I did this a purpose of our our next-door group Next a review of the system make it real simple and then some next steps for our group. So first introductions Like I said, my name is Chris Dancy. I'm married my spouse and I live here in the neighborhood We have three pets one cat named Luna a dog named sunny and a little teeny dog named rocket Additionally, I am right at York Minster and Cypresswood. So I'm sure we were part of the flood zone and my family moved in here and 2018 52 work in IT infrastructure my entire life. Most of that was in database work and for the last 10 years I've been in digital health Ironically, I always tell people I give good Google. So if you're not sure about who I am you can Google my name There's lots of videos. I was just showing Netflix the whole bit. So Knock yourself out if you want to know more about me and what I do you can check out my website there and then my phone number an email address if anyone In the neighborhood wants to reach out to me personally Outside of our group or if anyone who sees this video is looking for help deploying this in their own neighborhoods The purpose of this system really is our neighborhood is full of so many very capable people people with skills supplies equipment And in some of these people are starting to be in need of help or they're Wanting to help and this is really important. So the system is really devised into three areas The first area is the help request system It's the simplest part of the system and it's just a web form where you can ask someone for supplies Equipment or someone help you out with something. The second part is the volunteer sign-up system This is where people in our neighborhood who have supplies equipment or skills can sign up And the last one is the routing system and that routing can be manual like it is today It can be set up through automation or we can actually view statistics at helpers and and different types of requests About our neighborhood. So let's jump right into this the help request system is completely Mobile-friendly so you can get to it from your phone You'll find the link for the help request system in our next-door group And I'm going to show you how to do that now by requesting some help So I'm going to come into our help request system Sonny Dancy lives here. He's looking for help and I'm going to go ahead and say Sonny Likes to be contacted in person. So I'm going to put Sonny's address on here Next Sonny is out of dog treats and Needs a rectal thermometer because he doesn't hold a Hecto thermometer in his mouth very well Next no rush. He's having fun with his babies Next you know if you're asking for help you might not be feeling well So one of the things you can do is you can go ahead and log your temperature or any symptoms You're having so that the person who's coming to see you if it's in person can know to either wear proper protective gear or Do a completely no contact visit Finally if you want to take a picture of something with your phone and attach it Maybe it's medicine you're out of or a specific type of product. You can do that also I'm going to go ahead hits a bit and it's done. So that's it. That's all there is to requesting help in the system The next thing I'm going to talk about is how you sign up to help people So the volunteer request system is a little bit more Involved because we're trying to understand who's in our neighborhood and what skills supplies or equipment they have Again, it's just a web form of the work perfectly from your Mobile phone or from a computer. So let's go ahead and do that now So unlike sunny Luna is really this the rock star of the family for us She loves to help people out. So Luna's gonna sign up now as a helper And where is she located I'm gonna go ahead and put Luna's address in here Next Luna's phone number because we need to be able to contact Luna Finally Luna's email because maybe she's not available on phone. She's only getting email. So let's go ahead and put Luna's email in here Next it's gonna ask you for your primary skills. So primary skills. What's the one thing we could count on you for? If we were needing help within the neighborhood like who should we route these two specific skills to? These are completely customizable if you want to add more skills remove them you can But this is where that goes. Well, I'll tell you right now Luna is a killer driver So I'm gonna say her main skill is transport. She her great-grandmother was toons is the cat So we're gonna go ahead and put that there next we're gonna list secondary sales So you're gonna list one primary skill, but you can list many secondary skills So for secondary skills Luna is great at food prep. She makes a mean bowl of cat chow She can also come in here and at any time she probably can help out fixing some stuff I know she loves to work with cardboard and then finally she's a great caregiver We'll get right in your lap and be very friendly to you anything else She sometimes Doesn't like weather And that's it now Luna as a volunteer. She might have besides these skills some resources So what types of things can Luna offer to our neighbors in need? So I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna say yep. I know she's got some surgical masks I know she's got a pulse oximeter because she likes to check her blood oxygen because she gets out of breath in the Humidity speaking humidity. I know she's got a portable humidifier and She even has access to a spare room and private bath again The resources are completely customizable So if we need to add summer or remove some we can and then how does Luna want to be contacted? Well, I know that she spends a lot of time looking at next door. She loves email She's not real good with phone calls, but she can text and she sometimes is on Facebook finally Who as a volunteer do you want to share information with do you want to share it with? Everyone who requests help or do you want a case-by-case basis or you do not want any sharing at all? So I'm gonna go ahead and say case-by-case basis because Luna can be a little finicky and hit submit So that's it. That's all you do to sign up as a volunteer So now we have someone in our neighborhood sunny who needs the help and we have someone in our neighborhood Luna who has Some skills that she can help out with so let's look at how that part works And this is really the back part of the system not anything for most neighbors to worry about But we're gonna look at how the manual routing and automation could work within the system So I'm gonna go ahead and get out jump right into our system and pull up Everything we need to see so right away if we look in here, you'll see there's a new record In here for a helper someone named Luna. She loves to drive. That's her primary skill She's not a big fan of the rain. She's got a room and some beds and some equipment So you can see all the different things Luna has there Case-by-case basis. She doesn't mind helping people out. These are the way she likes to be contacted But what about sunny the sunny contact of us and let us know there was a problem There's sure enough sunny's in here. It looks just like a spreadsheet. We can see where Sonny's located We can see he's out of dog treats He didn't list any symptoms So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna come in here and assign Someone to go out and help so I know for a fact because if I come in here and search for transportation that Luna and Brienne here can both do that but Luna and Sonny even though they're cats and dogs they actually get along pretty good So I'm gonna assign this to Luna what will happen next is an email will go out to Luna and let Luna know what sunny It needs and Sonic and Luna can go ahead and get in contact with each other about supporting each other It's that simple now. It's manual We're manually routing neighborhood requests But it's allowing us to go ahead and see the different types of requests that are coming in and keep track of how many people are meeting what Also, we can have a dashboard system in here We can see the total number of requests that are in our neighborhood now The total number of volunteers in our neighborhood types of equipment our neighborhood has the types of skills How many days until school is supposed to return? We can actually also see our neighbors on a map So a lot of times when we're looking for help We also might want someone who's literally on the same street and this allows us to see our volunteers who've signed up Who might be closer to you? We can also send SMS messages. So super great flexible back-end system for everyone in our neighborhood who wants to go ahead and Get help or help out Well, that's it. So what are some next steps? Well, the first thing encourage everyone in Wimbledon the States to watch this video sign up to help or if they need help ask for it Please contact me if you already have signed up. We have about 17 neighbors who've already signed up I want to make sure I understand the information you've put in there It looks great to me, but you know, sometimes forms can be challenging Next thing that I think I could use help with is if you have any technical skill and you want to start to monitor This back end of the system. Please contact me if you'd like to actually enhance it Go ahead and I'll teach you how to do that if you're in a remote neighborhood and you're seeing this video and you want some just admin help because this is Ready to go any neighbor can install this system now. There's a template for it available on the internet You don't need to know any of this you can set it up today And then finally rest exercise and eat well regardless of what's happening Taking care of your body is the most important thing you can do our next-door group If you're in this right now reading next door, you don't need another group because you're there Our form is at this URL, but there'll be a link in our group our volunteer sign-up form is at that URL And again, please contact me by email or phone if you have any questions. I'd love to help you guys out I think this might be a little bit longer than two weeks So if you're watching this video sometime in April or maybe even May don't worry all this information is still available If you're not in our neighborhood when we set this up way back in here in March You can also reach out to me. I'll be glad to give you guys a hand Take care of each other and I really appreciate everyone in my neighborhood I love seeing you guys when I'm out walking sunny and I know Luna loves visiting to get cat treats be well
