Save the app that could save your life – Emergency Plus.   In an emergency, time and location accuracy are critical. By downloading the ‘Emergency +’ app, you’ll equip yourself with a powerful tool that will help you call Triple Zero (000) quickly, and allow you to accurately communicate your location to emergency call-takers.   ‘Emergency +’ is a national app developed by Australia’s emergency services and their government industry partners, helping people to call the right number at the right time, anywhere in Australia. Emergency + also includes SES and Police Assistance Line numbers as options, so non-emergency calls are made to the most appropriate number.   When calling Triple Zero (000), remember to stay focused, stay relevant and stay on the line. Before you call ask yourself:   * Is someone seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help? * Is your life or property being threatened? * Have you just witnessed a serious accident or crime?   If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions, call Triple Zero (000). Triple Zero (000) calls are free.   The app uses a mobile phone’s GPS functionality and what3words, so callers can provide emergency call-takers with their location information as determined by their smart phone.   With what3words available within the Emergency+ app, Triple Zero (000) callers can confirm their exact location quickly and accurately. what3words has divided the world into 3m squares and given each one a unique three word identifier. Addressing using what3words works offline - ideal when you have no data coverage or are in a remote location.
