Web timer for 102 minutes
While families wait at the evacuation centre, you can let 102 minutes pass before the water distribution period ends, without hovering over the screen. The interval can cover a steady session when people arrive in small groups rather than all at once. You remain free to watch the queue, answer questions, and notice when the table needs more bottles or cups.
As you wait for the distribution period to finish, the timer may continue while its tab sits behind a message thread, weather update, or centre roster. Keep the browser running and the device awake enough for the alert to sound; some phones may limit activity from background tabs. A quick glance during a quiet moment confirms that the countdown is still moving without making the screen your main concern.
While the last families collect water, let nearby volunteers and evacuees know before the alert is due. A loud signal can interrupt announcements, wake resting children, or startle people already unsettled by a typhoon or flood evacuation. Placing the phone close to you and choosing a moderate volume keeps the ending noticeable to the person tracking the session while reducing the disturbance across the shared centre.
Frequently asked questions
What could make the water distribution take less or more than 102 minutes?
A shorter queue, pre-packed bottles, and enough volunteers can finish the work earlier. New evacuees arriving after heavy rain, limited table space, or refilling containers can extend the session.
What should you do if water distribution ends before or after the 102-minute period?
If everyone has received water early, stop the countdown so its signal does not disturb the centre. If people are still waiting when it sounds, silence it and continue while another volunteer records who remains in the queue.
