According to Government News, Australian councils will be able to provide information to constituents via smart phones following a Commonwealth grant to South Australia to improve preparedness for natural disasters. "We are proposing to use technology to provide a smart system so verified information from council inspectors, engineers and other staff have capacity to communicate verified information back to the community," said Local Government Association of South Australia (LGASA) President Kym McHugh.
