The Pathfinder Rapid Assessment System (PRAS) is a software system designed to replace paper-and-pen reporting for first responders after a disaster.
After a disaster, it is imperative that information collected in the field be quickly and accurately reported to local authorities. Traditionally, responders rely on paper-and-pen to document operations, which must then be converted into electronic reports by a scribe. This method of data collection is slow, prone to human error, and inefficient. The Pathfinder Rapid Assessment System is designed to replace paper-and-pen techniques with an electronic solution that works without the need for cell or WiFi connectivity.
With PRAS, you can:
• Create and customize electronic forms
• Collect data in the field with automatically time/date stamped and geocoded forms and pictures
• Analyze data and auto-generate reports with data collected in the field
• Automatically export data to Excel for easy interoperability
• Cut costs, improve efficiency, and save money during field operation
• Maintain situational awareness in a 100% disconnected environment
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
