Over the past month, our Base Case portable dual-screen workstation has supported multiple South Worcester Flood Rescue deployments, giving us a professional, rapidly deployable command capability wherever we operate.

Combined with GoTAK, the system provides a clear operational picture through live mapping and team tracking, helping improve coordination and situational awareness during incidents.

We’re incredibly grateful to Base Case for providing this outstanding workstation, and to GoTAK for their continued support of our TAK capability. Together they’re helping us build a modern digital command capability that would otherwise be beyond the reach of a volunteer rescue organisation.

Thank you for supporting what we do.
