Victim Identification, Tracking and Tracing System

Sahana-VITA is a collection of services to support workflow organization and data management in the identification and tracking/tracing of persons and personal items.

Sahana-VITA is mainly addressed to specialist units rather than to ad-hoc helpers or the general public. So it does not replace Sahana modules like the Missing Person Registry (MPR), but enhances capabilities to process identification and tracking/tracing requests, and to integrate other person-related services (e.g. evacuation management).
