📝 Officials are asking loved ones to visit a family assistance center in order to complete paper forms on their missing family members. But is there a better, more efficient way? 📲 Our app and database, Simple Tracking System, utilizes image-matching technology to identify, locate, and reunite individuals following a disaster, eliminating the need for paper forms and in-person visits. When STS is used across a jurisdiction, the technology can notify a family on the status of their loved one and their location, whether that be a hospital, evacuation center, or other safe place. It can also create a list of unaccounted for individuals, including their demographic and emergency contact information.
