How SARhive works
One shared page for the search, one map for the ground covered, one place for sightings, tasks, updates and everyone helping. Every search needs a hive.
- Step 1
Open the search
Create one page for the missing person with photos, description, last known position and everything volunteers need to start.
- Step 2
Call the hive
Share a single link. Volunteers sign up, receive a role, and see exactly where and when they are needed.
- Step 3
Search together
Assign search zones on the live map, track what has been covered and keep every team on the same picture.
- Step 4
Act on sightings
The public reports sightings through a guided form. Coordinators verify, rank and route them in minutes.
Find and coordinate qualified services for the operation.
SARhive is being designed to help coordinators find and contact regional drone operators, K9 handlers, private investigators, medical professionals, trackers, transportation providers, equipment suppliers, translators, printing services, accommodation providers, and temporary field contractors.
Coordinate requests for qualified professionals, equipment, transportation, and regional support. SARhive does not operate drones, K9 teams, medical teams, vehicles, or investigative services.

AI that supports the operation, without replacing human command.
Planned capability. Through configured integrations, the assistant is designed to review operational changes and support the coordinator's decisions.
- Review operational changes
- Create suggested routines
- Identify overdue tasks
- Recommend follow-up actions
- Detect search coverage gaps
- Suggest when the search area may need expansion
- Prepare personalized volunteer reminders
- Draft customized messages to regional companies
- Suggest relevant service providers
- Monitor configured authority-alert sources
- Propose alerts and avoidance zones for the map
- Prepare shift briefings
- Produce handover summaries
- Translate operational communications
- Identify contradictions between reports
- Recommend verification steps
Public communications, provider contacts, search-area changes, avoidance zones, and sensitive operational decisions require coordinator review and approval.
The assistant does not contact organizations automatically. Outreach is prepared as a draft and sent only after coordinator approval, through configured integrations.
Every imported authority alert displays
- Official source
- Publication time
- Geographic coverage
- Alert category

- Coordinator approval status
- Reason for including it on the map
