Vanguard VEM Mobile App

Field Operations Mobile

Use the same hosted Vanguard VEM account on a phone or tablet. Program permissions, AOI, incident context and operational-period controls remain in effect.

Installation: Use the browser install/Add to Home Screen option, or select Install Vanguard VEM when it appears.

Offline-First Capture & Sync

When connectivity is weak or unavailable, use the Offline Field Queue to capture Field Observer/CAN-P reports, ICS 213 messages, damage/impact reports, resource requests, tasks, SRR clues/status, Continuous Improvement issues/remedies, coordinates/USNG and compressed photo evidence. Each device record shows Saved on Device, Waiting to Sync, Synced, or Conflict.

Urgent life-safety information still requires established radio/voice procedures until synchronization is confirmed.

Field Observer

Position workspace, All-Hazards Observer Position Task Book, safety/emergency procedures, precise location capture, narrative-to-data review, ICS 213/213RR/214/309 CAN-P intake and searchable FOBS records.

Device Location Check

Location is captured only when the user requests it and the device/browser grants permission. The Offline Field Queue records Lat/Long, automatically calculates USNG, preserves capture accuracy/time, and retains a plain-language location description.

No location has been requested on this page.
