\uD83D\uDCCB Overview

In May 31, 2024, we will deliver a minimum viable product (MVP) to assist BCWS & EMCR TEAMS Coordinators attract new members to join the program to build our talent capacity for emergency response. The key features to be implemented as follows:

  1. BCWS & EMCR to be able to review and approve new members on the dashboard.

  2. Consolidated two intake forms into one to create a single entry for the program.

  3. A shared scheduler for members who selected both programs.

This solution will enable BCWS & EMCR TEAMS Coordinators to efficiently process potential new members and improving the experience of public servants who want to join the program by streamlining the application process. The scheduler will also help with BCWS knowing when a member is being deployed in EMCR, making it easier for Coordinators to decide who to deploy.

In March 22, 2024, we delivered a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of the emergency response software app (Talent Cloud) to EMCR TEAMS Coordinators, in finding and deploying EMCR TEAMS members' talent during emergencies and disasters. We have also delivered an updated intake form for BC employees to apply to EMCR TEAMS for a seamless user experience. This endeavor took us 13 weeks to deliver.

❓ What is TEAMS?

TEAMS is the staffing system which maintains a resource pool of highly qualified employees from various ministries with appropriate skills to work in emergency operations centers.

When emergencies happen, TEAMS volunteers leave their BC Public Service base positions to work in a TEAMS role, with the benefit of not losing their position or pay. TEAMS members play an important role during the coordination of emergencies and disasters in British Columbia.

There are two TEAMS within government, one for EMCR and one for BCWS. The focus of this product is EMCR TEAMS.
