FARS

FARS search Log a fatal as soon as you hear about it, match it to the completed crash case once it arrives, then code the FARS-only elements and send it to NHTSA. Found something outside this queue that needs a correction (e.g. a death within the 30-day window)? Use FARS search, add a note, and send it straight to management.

New pre-report Log what you know before the crash report arrives.
