Dispatch Workflow

Receiving a Dispatch

1. A new dispatch notification appears on your Unit Status Card
2. You'll see: incident type, location, address, time since dispatch, and any notes
3. Tap Accept to take the dispatch, or Reject with a reason

Responding to a Dispatch

1. Accept → Status changes to DISPATCHED
2. Tap En Route when you begin traveling → Status changes to EN_ROUTE
3. Tap On Scene when you arrive → Status changes to ON_SCENE
4. Tap Clear Scene when done → Status returns to AVAILABLE

Each status change is timestamped for response time tracking.

If No Active Dispatch

The unit card shows "Monitoring channel..." with a radio icon — indicating you're available and monitoring.

Hospital Bed Availability

Quick Access > Hospital Beds

Real-time hospital capacity information:

• Hospital name and distance from your location
• Available beds by type (ER, ICU, General)
• Contact information
• Sorted by distance (nearest first)

Secure Communications

Quick Access > Secure Chat

Encrypted tactical channel for:

• Unit-to-unit messaging
• Command-to-field updates
• Incident-specific channels
• Attachment support (photos, locations)

Community Compliance Data

As a responder, you benefit from the community's property compliance data:

• Zone 0 inspections — Properties that have completed self-inspections are flagged in the system
• Resilience Buffer — Compliant properties receive Priority 1 (CRITICAL) status during SAR operations, meaning your team knows which homes are structurally hardened
• Mitigation Hike data — Shows which neighborhoods are actively engaged in fire prevention

In practice: During a wildfire response, you can see which properties in your response zone have completed EMBER compliance, helping prioritize search and rescue operations.

Inspector Override (Field Inspectors)

If you have the field_inspector role, you can also:

1. View the inspection queue — Residents who requested professional verification
2. Claim inspections — Assign yourself to a pending inspection
3. Conduct on-site audits — Walk through the 15 EMBER categories with per-item verdicts
4. Submit override results — Your professional assessment overrides the AI score
5. Truth Ledger logging — All inspector overrides are cryptographically recorded

Access: Quick Access > Inspector Dashboard (appears if you have inspector permissions)

Roles & Permissions

Tips for Effective Use

1. Keep your status updated — Other units and command rely on accurate status information
2. Check the map regularly — New incidents appear in real-time with pulse animations
3. Use the scope filter — Narrow the map to your jurisdiction for focused awareness
4. Pull to refresh — Swipe down on any screen to force a data refresh
5. Offline capability — Recently viewed data is cached for intermittent connectivity
