To use the DRI app, you must complete the required training here.

If you have completed training and would like to create a new account for the DRI app, please go to the Canvas course and follow the registration link. This link is only available once you have completed the course.

For instructions on installing this app to the home screen of your device, please read the app installation instructions.


Are you having trouble submitting your reports from the field because of limited internet service or a smartphone camera problem? Please use the tips below to help.

Make pictures while in the field but do not submit the report.

Submit the report once you are somewhere with a reliable network connection, either cellular or Wi-Fi.

Use the recently added "Tap to set GPS location from map" button to find the location for the report.

Use the pinch motion on the map to zoom and use 2 fingers on the map to move around until you find the location.

To Upload Images, choose Photo Library to select pictures you made earlier at the location.
