Local notices to screen layer
Add venue TVs and community screens where local notices already happen.
A future digital noticeboard layer can sit beside familiar notice spots and venue TVs, then make local information easier to refresh, translate, archive, republish and route to phones, backup screens, cloud AI workflows and the heavier simulation kiosk.
Power On Abundance
When the power is on, build capacity.
Most disaster systems sit idle until trouble. The abundance layer works in the opposite direction. It uses powered screens to make local good visible every day: who needs help, who has skills, what is on, where to learn, what weather is coming, what grants are open, what repairs are possible and what community work needs a hand.
During an outage, the value of the pilot would be the public habit it has already built. People know where screens are, who cares for them and what sort of information belongs there.
Events, ferry pressure, weather windows, beach conditions, club notes, training and community reminders.
Battery checks, water notes, fire season reminders, storm prep, official links and local readiness prompts.
Community screen devices
A small box behind the TV can run the notice screen.
A venue TV can become a digital noticeboard with a small media box, saved local copies, a full-screen notice page and an approved notice feed. Where touch is useful, a touch overlay can sit over the display and let people open a few approved paths.
The first screens can be quietly reliable: turn on, load the local page, keep approved notices saved, recover after power loss and show a backup message when the feed or cloud connection is down.
Possible source types
The planned layer can borrow from several Markdown experiments.
The emerging layer can keep different kinds of records readable, reviewable and easy to route to the right public surface.
Event, club, venue, service and community updates from public_noticeboard.md or similar screen-ready files.
grant-readiness.md and milestone-report.md style files can turn project progress into public evidence after review.
Ready S.E.T. Co-op stories, short interviews, training clips, explainers and sponsor-supported project updates.
Permissioned online help for summarising notices, translating plain-language versions and preparing screen-ready variants.
Beach, weather, tide, ferry and traffic notes, with official sources linked where needed.
Seasonal reminders, charging guidance, emergency kit prompts, local training dates and links back to official channels.
Opt-in supporter thanks, volunteer time, in-kind help and local stewardship records can become public only when that is the chosen pathway.
High-priority messages can carry human review, source links and a clear relationship to official channels when they step into the screen rotation.
