Deploy Pro

We have an increased number of planned and sometimes concurrent events each year, so we were looking for a way to keep track of CERT movements in real-time when deployed. This app was the perfect solution that is easy to use and allows users to control how much information they would like to share in addition to their real-world physical location. We also train with or assist neighboring CERT locality programs, so the ability to partner and temporarily share our team locations during those events is fantastic. Note: once our CERT team members join a CERT team on DeployPro, their location is no longer viewable by the public (only people in their DeployPro CERT or partnered CERT can see them).The CERT reference guide that is build into the app is also a wonderful resource for a quick review whenever you need it. The new START Triage button feature is a great addition that allows you to double check your assessment if needed.

I sent the App a question concerning GPS tracking actual live locations of Team Members during an active mission. Within an hour I received a call from the developer himself. When does THAT ever happen, I ask! After we connected we spoke about 20 minutes, going in depth about the features of this incredible tool. Furthermore, more he was excited to explain the evolution of developing DeployPro and the direction it is heading in providing even more features, while trimming unnecessary fat so to speak.What better person than a CERT Volunteer to create such a dynamic and EASY to use app!From an automatic Triage algorithm to tracking Volunteer Hours at Events! Handy quick access to First Aid resources and more I will be discussing with our CERT members the possibilities and benefits of implementing DeployPro.DeployPro should be in every CERT Volunteers Jump Bag! No different than Gloves, Flashlights, Helmets… DeployPro will most likely be the MOST important, and MOST used tool in my CERT list of Gear!

Update: When starting the registration process it DID present an additional form requesting all the items listed. Optional vs required was not clear. Website eUserManual helps with capabilities before registration, but still minimally explained. Website Packages comparison helps with, but does not resolve, issue with capabilities explanation before registration. Requires the creation of an account and excessive registration privacy invading information (username/Email and password, contact info, address, phone numbers , etc …) before even showing what the app capabilities are. Use of Constant Contact (a privacy data sharing marketing and tracking company that historically has not honored privacy data restriction preferences) is not encouraging.
