SALAMANDER Credentialing System Exercise WATERTOWN
July 15, 2026, 9 a.m. - July 15, 2026, 4 p.m.
Description
This course will run as a functional exercise geared towards a large event in one jurisdiction that will require multiple assignments and multiple pieces of equipment causing the need for neighboring jurisdictions to incorporate all Salamander products requiring full accountability during an event.
The exercise will incorporate the use of SalamanderLIVE, rapidTAG, TrackAPP, Events Pro, Plans, Rapid Tag Evac, Command, and Inventory.
The exercise will be built in an HSEEP format and will allow the creation of an AAR to determine inefficiencies and thoughts for potential future needs or purchases based off the lessons learned. Following completion of the course, you will have completed a fully approved functional exercise.
Please bring a laptop with any Salamander products you currently use (ex. rapidTAG printer/laptop & TrackAPP). If you aren’t using any of the products, you will still be able to participate in the exercise.
