Flatmate is an app created for New Zealand tertiary students moving into their first flat. By simplifying the often overwhelming and stressful responsibilities of adulthood, Flatmate aims to seamlessly integrate natural disaster preparation alongside flat management tasks such as bills, expenses, events, and rosters. By incorporating preparation into students’ everyday lives, Flatmate builds awareness of potential disasters whilst engaging and encouraging students to prepare for a disaster. The app provides a simple and accessible way for students to get ready whilst changing the current narrative that being prepared is costly and time-consuming.
