With Fiammata Alarm you can increase the efficiency of alerting, staff availability and feedback from your fire brigade and disaster control units many times over. In addition to redundant alerting, in parallel to the analog or digital radio alarm receiver, Fiammata Alarm can record feedback on deployment participation from the alerted emergency services at the time of the alert. In addition, individual absences can be planned in advance and overall availability can be viewed aggregated at unit level.
The app focuses on fire and disaster protection, which includes the voluntary, professional and company fire departments, as well as aid organizations such as the German Red Cross, Malteser, Johanniter, DLRG and the Technical Relief Organization (THW).
But the need to be alerted does not end with the emergency services, but also includes those with overall political responsibility, crisis teams of city and district administrations, press offices and other useful functions.
The following three areas can be identified as the focus of the app:
1. Additional alarm via the smartphone that the emergency services carry with them every day (internet connection required. .)
- Option to enable critical notification to deliver mission information even to devices in silent mode.
- Freely configurable alarm tones
- Overview of the deployment site with navigation options and a map of the deployment location.
- Additional information transmitted by the alarming body.
- Breakdown of the alarm and deployment order with the deployed resources.
2. Feedback function for participation in operations
- Confirm or reject participation in the mission.
- Delayed deployment with an estimated arrival time.
- Transparent overview of all personnel feedback on deployment participation for an early decision on a possible additional request.
- By maintaining the usual travel time to the equipment house or accommodation, the approximate arrival time can be calculated and visualized.
3. Availability planning of the emergency services
- By maintaining absences, the operational capability and maximum operational strength of a unit can be determined precisely.
- Responsible management and management bodies can take long-term measures to alert based on availability planning.
In all three focal areas, the level of training and qualifications of the personnel is taken into account. In addition, the app offers the possibility of communication in the form of chat rooms, which are available for each unit in order to distribute mission-relevant information to the units.
The app can be used across multiple units. Only a single user account is required to log in to the app.
A configuration platform is available as a browser version to manage users and units.
