Dispatchers tell us that using the What Three Words app could make it easier for rescuers to find you in an emergency when location services aren't working.

What three Words is also a great app for locating friends at ballgames or music festivals. Once you share the unique words, they’ll be able to walk to your location using Google Maps.

The app then provides three words, like surfaces.hotels.upon, which map to a specific spot, like 1701 Meridian Ave. Callers read the words back, and dispatchers use them to direct emergency crews.
