Community coordination, built around local control.
Communities need to coordinate across roles and regions while retaining control of their information. I’m building ART to connect reporting, dispatch, and training around that constraint.
My contribution
01 / The challenge
A single centralized platform makes collaboration easy to picture, but it can put too much sensitive information in one place. ART’s design asks a different question: how can communities share the signals they need while keeping volunteer and incident information local?
02 / Design & engineering
The documented architecture calls for each region to have its own database and deployment. Shared code supports consistent workflows, while regional boundaries define where sensitive information is intended to remain.
Watch, regional dispatch, Academy, and administration have different responsibilities. The architecture separates coordination metadata from volunteer rosters and raw incident records, which are intended to remain within their region.
The Academy and onboarding model connect learning with volunteer roles. Offline continuity through PocketServer is part of the documented product direction, alongside regional trust and recovery workflows.

Simplified view of the documented ART architecture. Offline continuity and further hardening remain part of the published build plan.
03 / Delivery & direction
The public repository includes the regional application template, Academy, Watch, shared packages, and region-scaffolding tooling. Public product images show dispatch filtering and the Academy overview. Together, the code, architecture documentation, and product interfaces make the project’s foundation available to inspect.
The published build plan includes offline synchronization, regional status reporting, and further hardening. I treat those roadmap goals separately from the interfaces and code available to inspect today.
