Owen Sound’s Emergency Communications Centre is now using the what3words location app to help them find people in an emergency.
Local police are encouraging the community to download the app in the event they become lost or are unable to describe their location to emergency dispatchers.
The City’s police service dispatches for 25 fire departments and seven police services including Saugeen Shores, Hanover, and West Grey.
The app can locate 9-1-1 callers faster because it has divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and given each square a unique what3words address.

After the free app is downloaded to a cellphone, the phone can translate those co-ordinates into a set of three words, which should be simpler to relay than a set of GPS numbers, to emergency dispatchers. Cellphones can record their co-ordinates, even without an Internet connection, as long as cell service is available.
