DESCRIPTION:REDOG is a Swiss voluntary organisation that trains and deploys
  rescue teams consisting of people and dogs to locate missing or buried in
 dividuals. It is made up of volunteers who are often called upon at very s
 hort notice and then set out on the search.  \n\nThe searchers are organis
 ed by an operations manager. This person assigns search areas to the searc
 hers and their dogs\, thereby coordinating the operations. The searchers h
 ave a tracker or a smartphone with which their search routes are recorded 
 and ultimately visualised at the operations centre. The technology used mu
 st be easy to operate and robust.  \n\nREDOG has opted for the GI-ANT solu
 tion from GEOTEST. This solution is based on QField and is therefore techn
 ically processed and organised via QGIS. A cloud solution in the backgroun
 d enables the real-time synchronisation of the collected data (search area
 s and routes). QGIS would also be the tool for visualisation. However\, as
  it is too much of an expert system\, it is deliberately not used. Thanks 
 to web solutions such as Lizmap or the QField Desktop App\, it is neverthe
 less possible to use QGIS as the main organisational tool for project admi
 nistration – in the background\, visible and usable only by experts.  \n
 \nThanks to the now very extensive QGIS ecosystem\, expert solutions can n
 evertheless be very simple for users and reduced to the essentials. This m
 eans that searchers can be equipped with the necessary technology\, which 
 also functions under adverse conditions. At the same time\, thanks to real
 -time synchronisation\, the operations command centre has an overview of t
 he areas already searched at all times. As REDOG\, being a voluntary organ
 isation\, has very limited financial resources\, open-source tools are ver
 y helpful in keeping costs low and\, in particular\, largely avoiding lice
 nce fees. \n\nThe presentation introduces the project and explains how the
  components mentioned are coordinated. It also discusses the challenges in
 volved in implementing and maintaining such a project.
