This release is about the record being right — the gear list, the roster's credentials, and the FEMA forms that get read months later. EQUIPMENT The inventory now describes how gear is actually stored. Items nest inside containers, so scanning a trailer returns the cases inside it, the kits in those, and the gear in them. RFID tags and printed serials both scan. A catalog of twelve categories and around 130 item types replaces the old flat list, and dive cylinders record manufacture, visual and hydro dates — with the hydro clock running from manufacture, so a never-tested cylinder reads overdue instead of fine. Gear can be edited mid-callout to mark it grounded. CREDENTIAL EXPIRY Expiry now comes to you. Members get an email at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days and again when a certification lapses; whoever manages credentials for the team gets a single digest. Renewing a certification starts a fresh ladder, so notices about the old term never silence the new one. SATELLITE MESSAGING A composer on Field-Ops builds the message for you: type plainly, pick SMS or inReach, tap what kind of message it is, attach your position. It counts the assembled message rather than what you typed — the prefix and coordinates cost about 38 of your 160 characters before you start — and warns when an emoji or curly quote halves the limit. It also says plainly whether command gets paged. SUBJECTS The lost-person questionnaire now carries the packet's full field set: reporting party, nicknames and code words, address and cell, companions, mental state, fears and phobias, distinguishing marks, and physical description. Identifying, locating, contact and medical fields are encrypted at rest — including the reporting party's, who is usually family and never chose to be in a SAR platform. CHECKLISTS Incident checklists are now your team's own. Every team previously inherited one Alabama team's procedures, agency names and all. You start from a neutral default, and that original list survives as a starter you can fork. DOCUMENTS Search by filename, kind or who filed it, filter and sort, with a live count so a filtered list is never mistaken for missing files. ICS documents filled in on paper or in another agency's system upload alongside — kept distinct from packets SARCOM generated, so the archive says which is which. WHO YOU RESPONDED AS Members of more than one team now pick which team they turned out with, per incident. ICS-211 Agency and ICS-201 Resource Identifier previously listed every team you belong to — columns that get read during reimbursement and after-action review. ICS FORMS • The operational period now prints on the 202, 203 and 204; those boxes were coming out blank • Long names, check-in timestamps and leader contacts stack instead of overrunning their boxes — on continuation pages as well as page one MAPS Map Builder opens on the search area instead of the middle of the country, and CalTopo links land on the incident at working zoom rather than wherever the map was last saved. K9 A deployment can point at the segment drawn in Map Builder, so the card map and the exported PDF agree on where the dog actually worked. OPERATOR GUIDE A written guide to running SARCOM end to end now lives at /instructions, shareable as a link — including with mutual-aid teams. ALSO • Photo uploads raised to 25 MB, so an ordinary phone photo reaches IC • Deleting an event clears its announcement and emails the team • The privacy policy now discloses background location tracking plainly FIXED • Stopping a tracking session no longer leaves unsent GPS points to be posted into your next deployment — that put searchers on ground nobody walked • The alert log no longer disappears behind a profile cover photo

The incident workspace has been rebuilt around how a callout actually runs. Command screens are now grouped into Command, Operations and Planning, so what you need is where you'd go looking for it. ASSIGNMENTS (ICS 204) Build assignments in a draft queue, assign them to teams, and hand each team its own assignment page. The operational period now prints on the PDF. OPERATIONAL PERIODS Set an OP length and the clock starts on your first page-out. Each period gets its own dated CalTopo folder — rolling to the next period drops the last one's work off the live map and carries your search segments forward. SUBJECTS AND SEARCH URGENCY Incidents now carry multiple subjects, each with an expanded lost-person questionnaire. The relative search urgency rating scores across all seven categories as you fill it in, with weather factored in automatically. Cell-ping locations drop as map markers per subject. PAGING AND MUTUAL AID Page any team's dispatch by SMS and email, with an editable preview before it fires and a priority on the page. Teams running Active911 can have pages delivered into their existing alert flow. Mutual-aid requests now notify the requested team's dispatch directly. FIELD MESSAGING FROM OUTSIDE CELL COVERAGE Register a Garmin inReach, SPOT, Zoleo or satellite phone, and messages you send from the field land in the op log — attributed to you and routed to the incident you're checked into. COMMS Your team keeps a standing channel list that pre-fills the incident's ICS 205 comms plan, so nobody is retyping a frequency at 0200. ON THE INCIDENT • Open incident chat for everyone on the callout — ETAs, parking, trailhead chatter — kept separate from the op log so the record stays clean • Responder status at a glance: who's responding, staging, in the field • Critical alerts now banner across every command screen • Logistics board, feeding the ICS 215 • Briefing and SitRep forms • Autofill every ICS form from the incident in one action • Closing an incident archives the ICS packet PDF into your team's documents K9 HRD training logs capture per-hide detail and export to PDF. Deployment PDFs now include the assigned-area map. ALSO Events display and email in your team's timezone. Avatars and cover photos can be cropped and repositioned on upload. FIXED • PDF and CSV exports now save properly on iPhone. ICS packets, individual forms, K9 records, AI drafts and reports open in the share sheet, so you can save them to Files, mail them, or AirDrop them to an agency rep. • Links to your own incidents and events stay in the app instead of kicking you out to Safari • Less background network use during an active tracking session, for battery life in the field

SARCOM is your search-and-rescue command platform: • Run incidents with a live CalTopo map and terrain-aware Lost-Person-Behavior modeling • Export all seven FEMA ICS forms filled from live incident data • Track team members, certifications, and training — scan a cert card and it fills itself in • Manage K9 teams, deployments, and field evidence with chain-of-custody photo logging This release adds terrain-aware Lost-Person-Behavior modeling, one-tap FEMA ICS form export, K9 team management, chain-of-custody evidence logging, and cert-card scanning, plus stability and reliability fixes.
