Web timer for 156 minutes
You start a 156 minutes countdown, then leave your phone somewhere audible while you help distribute water to families at an evacuation centre. That gives you space to carry containers, guide people towards the collection point, and keep the queue moving without repeatedly checking the screen. The alert marks the planned end of the distribution period while your attention stays with the families and volunteers.
The number of arriving families, available water, and midday heat can change how long the work should run. You can adjust the duration directly on the page before starting, allowing less time for a smaller group or more when heavy rain delays arrivals from nearby barangays. If conditions change after distribution begins, use the remaining time as a guide and stop early when everyone present has received water.
You may need another full session when a second group reaches the evacuation centre or fresh containers arrive. Once the first alert sounds, check the water supply, clear empty containers from the serving area, and confirm that enough volunteers remain. Then reset the same countdown and start it again, keeping the second session separate from the first so the handover time does not reduce the planned distribution window.
Frequently asked questions
What could make this water-distribution period shorter or longer?
A smaller number of families may finish the session early, while delayed arrivals from surrounding barangays can extend it. Heat, rain, the flow of the queue, and the number of volunteers can also affect how quickly containers are handed out.
What if water distribution finishes before or after the countdown?
If every family present has received water early, stop the countdown and use the remaining time to tidy the serving area. If people are still waiting when it sounds, check the available supply and continue with a newly set period that matches the remaining work.
