  3. Add notes in a member’s profile

Finding Members to Deploy

Utilizing search

Search filters:

“Home Region

“Region/Home Location”

There are three two main ways to use go about using the “Home Region/Location” filter:

Selecting

Home Location filter. The first one is using it to find people who reside in a select area (region/home location). When choosing an option from this dropdown menu, you can either:

  1. Select one or more regions without including specific home locations.

  1. Selecting Select one or more regions and then refining the search to include specific home locations within those regions.

  1. Selecting Directly select one or more home locations without selecting a region.

This filter automatically refines the search results to members who belong to the selected region(s) and/or home location(s).

Potential scenarios that may require search by home location:

  • You need to look for any available members who currently reside in Fort Nelson (NEA).

Search filters: Willingness to Travel

The second way is to use the Region/Home Location filter to search for members who are able to travel to a specific area. In this case, the fire centre or location that is selected refers to the area that you want to deploy the member to, instead of where people are coming from. To do this, you must:

  1. Select a location;

  2. Simply check the box that says “Show members willing to travel to the selected location(s)

. Utilizing search

  1. ”.

The search results will automatically refresh, showing all members who are willing to travel to the selected area, regardless of where they live in the province.

Potential scenarios that may require search by willingness to travel:

  • You need to find any active members across BC who are abled to be deployed to an incident happening in 100 Mile House.

Search filters: “Availability/Date Range”

  1. Select a status from the “Availability” dropdown.
