SARApp supports Search and Rescue operations by leveraging a phone's GPS receiver to document where a searcher has looked. This information is transmitted via 3G/4G or Wi-Fi to the web-based SARApp server, which can be used for real-time situational awareness and calculation of Probability of Detection at the Incident Command Post. The SARApp client supports volunteering electronically for a search, viewing the assigned search sector, and displaying the users tracks as well as those of other SARApp users. Searchers can also use the phone to take geo- and time-tagged photo and video evidence that can be transmitted back to the server for map-based display. SARApp works over land, in the air, and on water wherever GPS signals can be received. If a phone lacks 3G/4G connectivity, the app will store track and evidence data until it is within range to transmit.SARApp Client Features:Register for a search electronicallyReceive description and photo of search subject from Search ManagerStart and Stop tracking View summary of distance traveled and time spent searchingDisplay active track, other searchers tracks, and assigned sector on the map pageTake photo or video evidence and transmit to the SARApp Server with geo- and time-tagsView field-collected evidence provided by the Search ManagerReceive assignments and alerts from the Search ManagerControl position update rate to conserve battery usageSARApp Server FeaturesBrowser-based interface can be accessed from any location/device with internet connectivityCreate and modify searchesMap-based tools for building search sectorsCollect volunteers and make assignments to search sectorsPush sector assignments to SARApp usersMonitor search activities in real time on the map interfaceDisplay and view evidence collected from the field on the mapMake sector re-assignments on the flyView estimated Probability of Detection achieved for each sector and for the entire searchActivity Log showing registrations, assignments, and evidence receivedPush messages to searchers in the fieldIn addition to field search activities, SARApp can be used as a general real-time situational awareness or field intelligence collection tool. For example, personnel responsible for documenting storm damage, fire boundaries, road closures, the extent of flooding, or evacuated houses could use SARApp to send photos and video back to the Server for viewing on a map.Disclaimer: "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
