Pocket cards (TaKa) are a popular summary of important information for operations by the Technical Relief Agency (THW) and the (voluntary) fire department (FW/FFW) as well as other aid organizations.
In paper form, they are inconvenient to carry with you and are sensitive. Because most emergency services carry their smartphones with them anyway, the digital maps don't take up any space. The information is also easier to update and scalable for optimal readability, allowing details to be seen in drawings. The pocket cards are also suitable for exam preparation or exercises.
The pocket cards in the app are newly created and are not identical to some of the ones that already exist. The aim is to re-evaluate and prepare the information and make it available in one place.
All information is available offline and without subsequent downloading.
There is the option to create your own pocket card and integrate it as an SVG. The file must be located in the folder that is displayed in the settings.
