Emergency Services

🌘 Lights Out, Power On

Design a smart blackout assistant for mobile that helps users stay informed and prepared during a power outage. It should give real-time updates, offer survival tips, and help them report issues — all while using minimal battery.

User Persona

Jordan, 34. Remote Tech Support. When the power goes out, Jordan loses both work and info. He needs something that works offline, updates fast, and doesn’t drain his phone.

Constraints

  • Interface must function in low-light/night mode only

  • Include offline-first design for key features

  • Provide a clear "Power Status" timeline (e.g. estimated return, outage areas)

Bonus

Add a "Preparedness Mode" that lets users create a checklist and store emergency contacts and offline resources.

Suggested Tools

  • Figma

  • Feather Icons (minimal UI)

  • OpenWeatherMap API (for real-time outage-related weather)

Brand Vibes

Blend the calm clarity of Notion with the urgency of Citizen — clean, dark, and focused.

Tip

"Constraints fuel creativity." Designing for emergencies means stripping away fluff and shining a light on what really matters.
