EarthRanger users record and track incidents and activities within their protected areas as Events.
Events can represent anything from fires to wildlife sightings to snare locations.
- Events reflect situations happening in the field
- Events can be created by a user or by a connected service
- Events can be standalone, associated with Patrols (see: Patrols) or rolled up into Incidents (see: How to Use Incidents)
Events are at the core of how EarthRanger Web users document, track, and respond to activity within their protected areas. Events can represent anything from wildlife sightings and fires to snare discoveries or equipment issues reflecting real-time conditions in the field.
