What's New in SARCOM
1.0.13
August 15, 2026
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
