The myth of absolute security

After the start of the large-scale war in Ukraine in 2022, people started to take an interest in Emergency Management. The painful truth emerged - the residents of Lithuania are not properly informed and do not know how to behave in the event of Day X.

How did the project idea arise?

On 10th March 2020, following a random contact with a person infected with COVID-19, I became a number in the global infected count. I followed visual information the Lithuanian Ministry of Health distributed on how to behave when sick. I also tried to understand this information.

Therefore, based on my personal, professional and life experience, I naturally decided to delve into structuring such information, raise the issue of the effectiveness of data visualization, and apply my insights in developing the user experience in a prototype for alerting and informing the public.
