Read full description

The official JESIP App supporting the use of the JESIP Joint Doctrine: the interoperability framework. The App is a useful tool for all levels of staff working in emergency response including within the emergency services and the Category 1 & 2 responders. Main Features: β€’ Easily follow the five principles of joint working using the Joint Decision Model β€’ Complete a METHANE report (or ETHANE for non-major incidents) and share. β€’ Find definitions to common terms using the Glossary β€’ Information on tabards worn by on-scene commanders β€’ Information about the mobile communications used by the emergency services, including handset instructions and how to change talk groups. For more details about JESIP and the Joint Doctrine see the website www.jesip.org.uk ============ Note: GPS and a data connection/mobile network is required to use some aspects of the METHANE reporting tool. When using a mobile network, the minimum coverage required is: β€’ A 2G signal to be able to successfully share a METHANE report or checklist via SMS. β€’ A GPRS or EDGE (2.5G) signal to be able to successfully share a METHANE report or checklist via email β€’ A GPRS or EDGE (2.5G) signal to be able to successfully use the maps within METHANE. Although the App uses the device’s GPS to pinpoint your location on a map, without a data connection the app cannot load the map graphics. The strength of the signal will also affect the speed and reliability of these tools. All other features, such as Principles, JDM, Risk, Communications, Tabards and Glossary (minus link to the online Glossary), work independently and do not rely on a data connection or phone network.

About

Threatwhere Operator

Features
Read full description

Threatwhere Operator is the field companion to the Threatwhere intelligence platform β€” built for security teams, operators, and the people they protect in high-risk environments. Operator is an enterprise application. Access requires an operator license issued by your organization's Threatwhere administrator. There is no public sign-up. INTELLIGENCE, WHEREVER YOU ARE β€’ Feeds β€” real-time threat events, incidents, and country risk across 250 countries and territories, distilled from millions of global signals. β€’ Tracked entities β€” keep a personal watchlist of the threats that matter to your mission and stay alerted as they develop. OPERATIONAL AWARENESS β€’ Trips β€” structured mission briefings assigned by your operations team: itinerary, risk assessment, check-in schedule, cultural and legal guidance, key phrases, and emergency contacts for where you are going. β€’ Check-ins β€” confirm your status on a schedule, with location and optional notes or a photo, so your operations team always knows you are safe. β€’ Messages β€” secure, real-time communication with your organization's monitoring team. WHEN SECONDS COUNT β€’ SOS β€” one tap raises an emergency alert to your organization's monitoring team, captures your location and photo and audio evidence, and keeps streaming your position. It is engineered to get through regardless of network, device state, or duress, and to keep retrying until it does. β€’ Safety boundaries β€” geofenced movement detection that keeps watch even when the app is closed. BUILT FOR THE FIELD SOS, location, and check-ins are offline-resilient: when connectivity drops they queue and deliver the moment you reconnect. Threatwhere Operator uses background location to send your position to your organization's monitoring team during an SOS and to power geofenced safety-boundary detection. This continues when the app is in the background or the device is locked. Your organization controls provisioning, access, and your data. Operator is included with every Threatwhere Overwatch seat and is also available as a managed Operator seat. It is not a standalone consumer app.
