1 Search and Rescue, Adopting New Technologies for Quicker Search Responses Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 1

2 Introduction: I have been a volunteer of the Houston search and rescue organization for a couple of years now and my background and areas of experience are in mapping and GPS technologies. I currently work for Forest Lands and Natural Resources as a GIS analyst and have been working on a provincial mobile device research and development team for the past 8 months. This groups mandate is to research current trends around mobile devices and document recommendations on modernizing government with mobile device technology. As such I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge on current trends and capabilities with this technology and am excited to introduce it into our SAR team to improve search responses and critical field data collection. I am proposing that Houston Search and Rescue move our mapping and field data collection to a modern more common digital world of smart phones and tablets rather than the old paper map and GPS techniques of the past. Based on my experiences with the provincial R & D team I have concluded that the Apple iphones and ipad tablets provide the best combination of hardware and software apps for search and rescue needs and this document outlines the capabilities and uses Houston SAR volunteers will be using these devices for. Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 2

3 Smart Phone and Tablet Capabilities: Many smart phones and tablets on the market these days are equipped with impressive technologies. Most of this technology is intended for gaming and navigating around cities. For mobile device the four top uses are: 1. Communication txting, talking and social media, snapping and sharing pictures 2. Information - Web browsing, information, shopping 3. Navigation - finding restaurants, and driving instructions, etc 4. Gaming Navigation capabilities fall in the top three uses and as a result most of the phones and higher end tablets come with good quality GPS receivers. It is important to point out that many phones and tablets available these days will navigate accurately with or without cell coverage. First some definitions: GPS US based Global Positioning System GLONAS Russian base global positioning system, Stands for Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema A-GPS assisted GPS, uses a combination of cell towers and GPS system to acquire a location Hybrid Systems uses a combination of A-GPS as well as standalone GPS and GLONAS systems for navigation. Note: Apple 4, 4s, and 5 smart phones as well as the higher end models ipad 4 and ipad mini use hybrid location systems and can navigate very accurately and independently outside of cell and WiFI services. Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 3

4 Smart Phone Benefits over Traditional Devices: One device does it all! Smart phones and tablets are now very powerful computers that are equipped with many additional components making them the ideal tool that replace multiple older devices. A single smart phone or tablet device can replace: Laptop or PC GPS Camera all photos are automatically geo-referenced Paper Maps, plotters printers Expensive GIS software for mapping Paper forms, manuals and guides Phone Satellite communications This benefits search and rescue volunteers tremendously by allowing us to concentrate on fewer devices as well as work with devices most people are already familiar with and use regularly in their personal lives. Our Search and Rescue volunteers will use smart phones and tablets for the following: Initial search information. Subject picture and point last seen location Planning and organizing a search Communicate search plans to searchers and public Navigating in the field Collecting spatially referenced data and photos in the field Compiling, analyzing and documenting searches for future references Tracking locations of search teams on large or remote searches with satellite communications. We will no longer need to teach searchers how to use, read and navigate with traditional paper maps or even GPS but instead will add simple apps to smart phones and tablets that are already commonly used in most people s work and private lives. Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 4

5 Examples of Uses Here are some examples of how these device can be used and merged seamlessly into our current field search practices. They can be easily used in a helicopter for navigation and field data collection Or used on foot, quad or horseback and in any weather Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 5

6 Planning and initial search information can be communicated to any number of searchers quickly and efficiently through and then taken directly into field and used on the search. This will drastically improve initial search response times: Google Earth Compatible means easy data compilation and long term documentation! Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 6

7 Detailed data with geo-referenced photos can be collected by every searcher in the field and merged for search management and analysis after each search day. No More Paper, printers, ink, or photocopiers to break down! Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 7

8 Search Workflow Comparison Traditional vs New Example Traditional Process - This process takes several hours! 1. Search Manager receives call from RCMP 2. Search Manager meets with RCMP and is given search information and plan search 3. Search Manager contacts Searchers 4. Search Manager contacts and arranges to meet GIS staff to map out a search plan 5. Several paper maps are produced 6. Searcher all meet at a base camp and hand out maps 7. Each searcher takes map hand-out along with GPS and compass and camera and start search 8. All data from separate devices need to be compiled and manually transferred by search managers Many manual processes, requires access to expensive GIS equipment and plotters, requires searchers to juggle and carry multiple devices, more physical travelling to complete steps. The Future with Smart Phones and Tablets - This process will drastically reduce response times! 1. Search Manager receives call from RCMP 2. Search Manager meets with RCMP or simply receives an and is given search information. The search plan is created directly on the ipad saving time. 3. Search Manager contacts searchers and s out search plan to all searchers 4. Searchers all meet at base camp and begin search with information already on their device 5. Searchers use the mobile device to track where they have been and what they have found photos included. 6. Search information is easily compiled at the end of each day by ing the data to search managers Faster, one device, and easier learning and training curve for searchers, searchers can travel directly to base camp without having to meet to get paper maps, photos or search instructions. Andy Muma Houston Search and Rescue Page 8

9 Conclusion As with any tools, whether GPS and compass, or iphones and ipads it is critical that searchers familiarity and use is second nature especially under the pressures of a real search. We encourage our volunteers to use and practice with any and all equipment as much as possible. Utilizing smart phones and tablets has an added advantage where most volunteers in the community are already familiar with their general function and the addition of search specific software apps on these devices can be learned very easily and quickly. As search and rescue volunteers it is important that we continually investigate and implement better tools and processes. Introducing a combination of ipads, ipad minis, and iphones as well as creating processes to support these devices will significantly improve our response times and search efficiencies giving SAR team better chances of success.
