In a response to an emergency, timely and accurate information being passed onto the emergency services is very important and could save lives, which is why The Emergency Plus app (also known as the Emergency+ app) can be downloaded to your mobile phone and can help you pass this information on the right way.  Emergency Plus can be used on iPhones and on Android devices.

We’ve detailed just some of the reasons you should use the Emergency Plus App in an Emergency.

1. Emergency Plus gives you Swift Access to Triple Zero (000), and other Emergency Numbers at the Press of a Button

In critical situations, every second counts. The Emergency + app equips you with a powerful tool to quickly call Triple Zero (000) for Police, Fire or Ambulance as well as for SES.  With just a few taps, you can connect to emergency services, ensuring timely assistance when it matters most.

2. Accurate Location Communication

When you’re in distress, conveying your precise location to emergency call-takers is vital. The app utilises GPS functionality built into your smartphone.

3. What3words Integration with Emergency Plus

The app now includes what3words functionality, allowing you to describe your location with just three words.
