A Typical Field Workflow

1

Pre-Incident Check-In

Morning brief with Terrasatch map, current AvyTS hazard layers, and recent field observations.

2

Terrain Assessment

Use AvyTS to identify high-risk zones and plan operational routes around hazards.

3

Field Work

Real-time updates and hazard alerts as conditions shift. Log observations directly in the app.

4

Evening Debrief

Review the day's AvyTS data, field notes, and prepare for next-day strategy.
