About this app

BCG’s Mobile Responder App adds offline functionality, personnel tracking, and quick form entry to our DisasterLAN (DLAN) emergency management software and other BCG software.

IDEAL FOR:
• Disaster Area Field Operations
• Damage Assessments
• Debris Management
• Risk Assessments
• Personnel Tracking

With DLAN’s Mobile Responder App, emergency managers in the field can easily communicate essential information, including images and videos, with each other and back to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) using their own mobile devices.

CREATE CUSTOM FORMS & WORKFLOWS
• Like other areas of DLAN, custom mobile forms and workflows can be created based on your needs
• DLAN includes easy to use form creators - no programming skills required

LEVERAGE USER DEVICES
• The App can access cameras, photos, and GPS trackers within each user’s device
• GPS tracking allows the app to track current and historical locations (breadcrumb trails) providing a simple, accurate, and cost-effective way to track personnel and see historical routes for vehicles, damage assessments, grid searches, and more
• Any number of authorized users can download the mobile responder app with no per user charges

ASSIGNED TASK MODE
• Helps get field staff started on their daily duties quickly
• When a user logs in the App automatically syncs and downloads all assigned tickets including:
o Forms
o Basic ticket data
o Contact information
• When tasks are completed, they are automatically published back to DLAN

WORK OFFLINE
• Work with any form offline
• Save progress locally
• Use “store and forward” capabilities to sync to DLAN when connection is re-established

SYNC DATA WITH DLAN
Once a form is synced with DLAN, they can be:
• Posted to a ticket (manually or through automated workflows)
• Submitted to the Risk & Resiliency module
• Displayed in maps & dashboards
• Included in reports & exported

The Mobile App is designed to work with DLAN and other BCG software. Authorized credentials are required for login. For more information about DLAN, visit www.disasterlan.com.

Ratings and reviews

I use this app on a LG G7 ThinQ primarily, though I also have used it on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I have been using this app for over three years and find it very useful. Location tracking is beneficial, not only to me but to coworkers who are determining my location. The ability to present that data on the GIS COP a plus, no need for a separate application. Log out, and I am no longer being tracked. Ticket updating is cleaner and smoother through the app than on a smaller web-based view of DLAN when forms are involved. The contacts feature through the app allows me to get a persons phone number from the system rapidly. The forms section allows for a variety of reports to be populated and submitted quickly, saving phone calls or emails.

It sucks, the update made it worse

Best app I've ever used. Gave me the power to shoot lightning through my fingertips for real.
