The British Columbia Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) is very pleased to announce that approval has been received for funding under Search and Rescue New Initiatives Fund (SAR-NIF) to establish a sophisticated provincial on-line database.
This 3-year project will procure and implement a province-wide on-line ISRID-compliant database (software) that will accumulate extensive information on past operational history, as well as collecting statistics on all aspects of GSAR operations, including the ability to capture subject behaviour profiles.
The data generated will guide annual training plans and provide guidance on changes in capacity, such as regional resource optimization. The project may be expanded to also provide incident management, GIS and task reporting functions.
