Decisions For Heroes

Yeah, you got that right. Decisions For Heroes is the solution for any team involved in search and rescue in any kind of environment. So what this is all about? It is a website that you can log in(a subscription and a monthly fee is required), and you'll get all the support you can get in order to sort out your operations on the field, manage staff and equipment, organize incident reports, planning training and so on, you can even get the location maps of the rescue operations or training sessions.
I have to say it is maybe the best tool on the market right now, and that happened for a simple reason: was made by people involved in this kind of work, professionals and volunteers alike, and the result is a blast. Forget about charts, endless printed reports, organising staff and all that hustle that the field and office work it is all about, now it's all easy to sort out in a matter of minutes. You just need a computer connected to internet and that's pretty much it.
Robin Blandford, the Founder of Decisions For Heroes says: "Nobody likes reading manuals - if we have to write one, we've got too complicated." All the philosophy behind this application is based on 3 strong principles: Team Management, Thrilling Analytics and Fast Communication.

For shore now you'll be wondering how much it will cost a service like that, and here's some price quotes: Volunteer Teams: €40/month, due to the support of Decisions For Heroes; Rescue Teams: €120/month, and Organisations from €280/month.
