Evoluation of the monthly Drowning report

We have been collecting drowning data since 2008. This process involves about 1100-man hours per year plus cost for programs and support. Recently we have faced the following challenges:

· Some of the thousands of websites we visit for our report data have now started charging subscription fees. While these are only .99 cents a week they add up over the period of a year. 

· Due to the number of sites, we use for information and reports, we have been exposed (multiple times) to viruses and have had to move to enterprise grade protection. 

· Our users have requested many features that we were not able to offer before: custom reports, online searchability, ease of access and more.

It is time for TAP-LLC to update the way we collect and present data. This has a cost that we cannot totally absorb, and after talking to many users it is too important to just lose! We are moving to a subscription-based model. $99.95 per year will get you all the information you are used to plus:

· Report filtering options

· Custom reports (emailed on a customer set schedule)

· Ability to submit drownings (requires approval)

· Online and accessible 24/7 – no more waiting for the first of the month

· Enhanced field logic

· Alert notifications (new drownings in your area)

· Much, Much More!

All this for less than $9 per month.
