Department Settings

Department address, time zone and core settings.

Why it helps
Sets the time zone and address everything else uses, and keeps administrative access limited and recoverable.

How to configure it
Confirm the address and time zone; dates, maps and schedules depend on them.

Before you begin
Check your department access and intended audience.

Examples for your department
Community paramedicine and mental health response: Department Settings: Set the local time zone for scheduled outreach visits; review whether a daily reset would incorrectly mark an occupied response team available.
Search and rescue: Department Settings: Choose availability reset rules that suit volunteers and overnight searches; avoid implying that a remote volunteer has arrived at staging.
Security companies and departments: Department Settings: Set patrol-day boundaries and display order; review staffing suppression before excluding an off-duty patrol member from alerts.
Wildland contractors: Department Settings: Review reset times across overnight assignments and the deployment time zone before changing contractor crew availability.
Industrial emergency response teams: Department Settings: Align display time with plant shifts and review automatic resets before overwriting a team engaged in an extended incident.
