Reporting office

A reporting office is an initiative or public agency ( registration authority ) that collects information about important events or dangers .

In many cases, reporting points are networked with a warning system that generates warnings for those affected from the data from such points and often also from automatic measurement and analysis systems.

The term is also widespread in equestrian sports. This is the place at an equestrian event where everything comes together. Usually one or two people deal with the management of the organizational tasks and provide information for participants and guests.
