OneMessage Teams Enhances SAR Operations
Group Visibility for Grid Searching
OneMessage Teams provides real-time location tracking, ensuring team member safety and visibility. This is especially useful when searching in tough areas like cornfields, steep hills, or thick brush. With real-time location tracking, incident commanders can keep everyone on the right path and ensure no area is missed.
Tracking Gaps Identified and Filled
OneMessage Teams shows where searchers have been and highlights any gaps in coverage. By updating positions frequently, it’s easy to spot areas that need more attention. Command teams can quickly direct nearby searchers to fill these gaps, ensuring continuous coverage and improving efficiency.
Group Merging for Efficient Coordination
When multiple SAR teams need to work together, OneMessage Teams allows them to easily merge under one command. New searchers can join the group’s communication instantly, and everyone stays coordinated through the portal. This keeps the operation running smoothly with one central point of control.
