Web timer for 160 minutes
You are starting the countdown again while handing out water to families at an evacuation centre, so this 160 minutes needs to cover another full distribution round without making you watch the screen. Use the new run to match the work still ahead: fewer people, shorter queues, or extra volunteers may mean you finish before the alert.
As you move between families, keeping the device silent avoids adding another sound to a crowded hall. Check that vibration is enabled and keep the phone in a pocket where you can feel it; if the device is left on a table, ask a nearby volunteer to notice the screen when the countdown ends.
For the second round, estimate the remaining families and compare that number with what the team completed during the first run. Allow more time when rain delays arrivals, water containers must be carried across the centre, or barangay staff are still confirming household groups; shorten the next run when several volunteers share the same queue. The duration should follow the workload, with a quick progress check halfway through rather than stretching distribution to fill the available time.
Frequently asked questions
What could make water distribution take longer or shorter than 160 minutes?
Heavy rain, newly arrived families, and checks by barangay staff can extend the round. A shorter queue or more volunteers can reduce the time, so the first run provides a practical guide for the second.
What if the evacuation-centre water round finishes before or after 160 minutes?
If it finishes early, stop the countdown and record roughly how many families were served. If it runs late, continue the work safely and use the extra time when estimating any following round.
