The operations module supports organizations with alerting, situation coordination, live tracking, and operation documentation. It is designed for search operations where time, clarity, and reliable documentation matter.

Alerting is fast and reliable via push notifications using established transmission channels from Google and Apple. Heads of operations can include important information directly, such as emergency driving privileges, direct response to the operation site, location, keyword, and initial operation notes. Responses from alerted personnel are shown live.

Organization administrators can create groups such as area search helpers, trailing teams, or heads of operations. The Head of Operations role can create, coordinate, close, and extend operations by alerting additional personnel. For existing alerting systems or dispatch integrations such as FE2 or LVS, suitable alert groups and connections can be prepared.

In the operation map, a modular dashboard provides a clear overview: alerting information, responses, additional alerts, active responders with radio call signs, on-site weather including wind direction, chat, live documentation, current time, elapsed time since alerting, and additional GPS data are available in one place. Search teams can be assigned to operational sectors; drawing tools, vehicle markers, search areas, tracks, and GPX imports support situational leadership.

Data is hosted on the GDPR-compliant RescueDogs platform in Germany. The infrastructure is located in a certified data center in Frankfurt am Main, and transmission is encrypted. Alert data is deleted after processing, and the platform states an annual average availability of 99.2%.

When an operation is finished, it can be closed. The information then remains available read-only and can be used for documentation, PDF reports, debriefing, and archiving. More information: operations module product page.
