Enhancing SAR Missions with OneMessage Teams for Communication Coordination and Tracking
In search-and-rescue missions, precise communication and tracking are vital, and OneMessage Teams revolutionizes operations by delivering messages across satellite, cell, and Wi-Fi networks with a single action. This innovative platform enhances group visibility, command, and coordination, empowering SAR teams to navigate tough terrains and save lives.
Group Visibility Assists GRID Searching
It’s hard enough to conduct a coordinated grid search for a missing person in a corn field. Bushwhacking through thick brush, rolling to steep terrain, and heavy undercover is next-level. OneMessage Teams delivers group visibility to those SAR teams that can save lives. Visibility in terms of where each member is located now as well as with what each member is encountering and reporting.
Command & Control Coordination of SAR Response
By taking advantage of the location services of the popular devices with which Teams works such as the Garmin GPSMap series, or ZOLEO and Bivy personal communicators, positions can be auto-reported to OneMessage Teams central portal. One-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one chats allow Teams members to connect and the incident commander to steer searchers back on course if need be.
Gaps are Identified and Filled
Track lines on the OneMessage Teams portal are as valuable for showing where search team members have been as they are for where they are now. With high-frequency position reporting, terrain forced gaps in the spacing between searchers jump off the OneMessage Teams portal screen. Portal C&C can use the Teams portal to draw an A-B line from the searcher who is nearest to that coverage hole and text them with bearing and range instructions to fill it in.
Group Merging
SAR groups from one location often draw in SAR from neighboring districts. A powerful feature of OneMessage Teams is its capacity to readily merge otherwise distinct groups under one, temporary, event-specific umbrella. New searchers become part of the group conversation while being coordinated under one command and control from the Teams portal.
Revolutionize Your Group Communications
