How Family Reunification Works in SalamanderLive
1. Intake & Identification
Personnel capture essential information at the point of contact, whether at a shelter, reunification center, field location, or mobile checkpoint. Each individual receives a unique Salamander credential that ties them to their record.
2. Assignment & Movement Tracking
As individuals move through the process, sheltering, transportation, or reunification staging, every scan updates their status in real-time. Agencies gain full visibility into where people are, who they are with, and what services they have received.
3. Guardian & Family Linking
SalamanderLive supports linking minors to guardians, dependents to caregivers, and family units to one another. These relationships remain visible throughout the event, reducing confusion and accelerating reunification.
4. Reunification Confirmation
When a family member arrives or is located, staff verify identity using Salamander credentials and complete the reunification workflow. The system logs the interaction, time, personnel involved, and any required documentation.
5. Reporting & After-Action Review
Every step, from intake to reunification, is captured in SalamanderLive’s reporting engine. Agencies can export detailed records for compliance, reimbursement, and operational analysis.
