Interface (0.5 page)
Here we will define the purpose of the website in general terms. But also we will also strictly define THREE goals of the website.
The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) website aims to provide a range of information on dangerous fires taking place across NSW. This information includes current danger warnings, guides on planning and preparing for fires, volunteering opportunities, media releases and other information.
While there are numerous goals that a user may have when accessing the RFS website, there are three important and useful services that users are aiming to access:
- Checking to see if there are fires or warnings near their home
- Advice on what to do in the event of a fire emergency
- Blah
Users (0.25 page)
Here we will give FIVE examples of different types of people that would use this website, giving a short description of each of these stakeholders.
While there are countless categories of people accessing and using the RFS website this report will recognise five types of users:
- People in areas in danger of bushfires
- People who are preparing for fire danger
- People who wish to volunteer for the RFS
- Journalists who are reporting on fires
- Fuck knows
