Inglewood SES Receives Highly Commended Award
The Inglewood State Emergency Service (SES) has been recognised with a Highly Commended Award for its innovative Online Data Evacuation Tracking App at SES Week Awards on Saturday 30th May.
The app was developed to support emergency response efforts during disasters affecting Inglewood, Texas, and Yelarbon.
This groundbreaking application plays a critical role in tracking evacuated properties and residents, ensuring that no address is overlooked during a major disaster event.
By providing real-time data and accountability, the system significantly enhances situational awareness for emergency crews and coordination teams.
The app enables responders to:
* Accurately record and monitor evacuated addresses
* Ensure every household is checked and accounted for
* Improve communication and coordination across agencies, and
* Reduce the risk of individuals being missed during large-scale evacuations.
The recognition highlights the dedication and forward-thinking approach of the Inglewood SES team in leveraging technology to improve community safety and disaster response outcomes.
This achievement reflects a strong commitment to protecting lives and strengthening resilience across the region, particularly in times of crisis.
