About SAR-Hub

SAR-Hub supports the management of a SAR agency. The design of SAR-Hub recognizes that SAR responders may be members of multiple agencies, and that incident responses typically involve multiple SAR agencies.

Current features include:
  • Member Roster Maintenance, including a standard set of fields and customizable fields
  • Expiration Date Alerts
  • Qualification History for Members
  • Attendance Tracking (for members at the agency level)
  • Personal Activity Tracking
  • Checklists (e.g. on boarding checklist, Position Task Books)
  • ID Card Lookup - ability to lookup certifications, dates, etc from a QR Code and a member numb on the ID Card
  • Report Writer - flexible reporting system to extract spreadsheets on the above
  • Granular Security - the Agency and the Member can elect who can see and update whai information
  • Sharing of "How to Call Us Out" contact information

Pricing:

This is a not-for-profit service. The author, Patty Lindsay, is currently paying the minimal monthly hosting fees, and is willing to continue to do that for the short-term. If the usage of the site grows as more agencies are added, the monthly hosting fees may become high enough that a small annual fee may be charged to each agency to help cover those fees.
