App Helps To Share Location In Emergency — What3Words

When you call 911 from your cellphone, it’s important to share the location of the emergency with the call taker. We understand that in some cases, providing an exact location may be difficult. Well, there’s an app for that. The What3Words app helps our 911 Center locate callers who are in a location where no roads or a specific mailing address are available. The app gives the caller three words to provide to the dispatcher, allowing first responders to locate them quickly.
