When every second counts, knowing exactly where you are can make all the difference. Russell, Emergency Response Coordinator with SAPOL, explains how the what3words app helps.
The app divides the world into 3x3 metre squares, giving each one a unique three-word address.
💡 Real-life example: A driver stranded on Yorke Peninsula shared their 3 words. Emergency services located them immediately, turning a potentially long search and rescue into a quick and precise rescue.
🏟️ Big events like the AFL Grand Final, concerts, or the Christmas Pageant often involve huge crowds. Street addresses and landmarks aren’t enough — 3 words pinpoint your exact location.
🌍 Multilingual: send your 3 words in English, and a friend with their phone set to another language will see them translated automatically.
📲 Download what3words today and make sure you, your loved ones, and anyone around you are findable, anywhere, anytime.
