The forms included in D-RATS can be edited to suit your needs. New forms can also created for specific situations. If you wish to print the received message on paper, an associated XSL style sheet must must be created to format the data for printing.

Dashboards are all the rage.? ?Simple fields are key.? Adding new entries on the fly is key.? Scale is key.? "Better data better decisions" etc.??

The American Red Cross is rolling out a large database project - cloud based- called RC Care.? After the big Microsoft Office cloud outage yesterday I realized I missed a memo on why we must all use the cloud in natural disasters.? ?We built a fleet of eight mesh tower trailers and are adding a local virtualized compute capability.? The idea is you roll to a disaster, start collecting data, operate locally and then upload via an API if the cloud comes back up lol.??
