Situation Report items must include a Subject. This is used to identify it in lists and to give other personnel a summary of what it is about.

Use the following rich text fields to record critical information for dissemination including:

• Situation to Date - emergency situation, location, community affected, response/relief/recovery centres opened and staffing

• Actions to Date - resources deployed, communications, relief/ recovery, impact assessment

• Actions to be Completed - a list of outstanding actions

• Issues - resource supplementation, communication, safety information

• Attachments - a file upload field to support adding multiple files

Make sure to Save your item once you've finished to effect your changes.
