First cut of the Sahana SITREP (Situation Report) was done and early version of the module is available for review purposes now. There were quite a bit of interest for this functionality in Sahana for sometime, but there wasn’t a module that really address the requirement. Sahana Situation Awareness module gives similar features but that’s not exactly situation report, it’s rather situation maps.

Somehow Gavin managed to compile a nice requirement document for SitRep and since I have seen the real use of situation reports during the Sahana deployment in Sidr disaster in 2007, immediately realized the importance of the module and thought that I should give a try.

So after couple of months, I managed to finished up some of the base functionality of the module based on Gavin’s requirement document and thought that it should be reviewed before I move forward. This phase of the SitRep module consist with following features,

• Create new reports.
• View all available reports:
  • Select and view individual report - summary, development, action, key-figures
  • Select and update individual report - summary, development, action, key-figures

• Easy edit via FCKEditor or TinyMCE
• Track and Provide details of last updated user and date/time
