Three words that could save your life Release Date: October 27, 2020 Kingston Fire & Rescue (KFR), Kingston Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC), and ...Kingston Police are encouraging you to download what3words, a free and potentially life-saving smartphone application that helps emergency responders quickly find you when you aren’t sure where you are. Imagine: You’ve had a car accident, or you’re lost on a trail. You need immediate help but have no idea where you are. What do you do? The situation is not as unique as you might think, says Kim Smith, Supervisor of KFR’s Communications Division, which dispatches fire and rescue calls for the City of Kingston and nine neighbouring communities. We live in a beautiful region, with a lot of dirt roads and wild spaces to explore. But in these areas civic addresses can be difficult to find and directions can be challenging to give, says Smith. In an emergency, when a caller is distressed and not sure about location, every second counts. what3words provides us with the location information needed to get help to you as quickly as possible. Developed by a UK-based company, what3words is a free smartphone application that has assigned a unique three-word combination to every 3m x 3m square on Earth. Kingston is the first community in Canada where all three emergency services have worked together to introduce the application to residents. Residents can tell us exactly where they are by opening the application and reading the corresponding three words. The app works offline, too, says Smith. Location services must be enabled so that the application can locate the smartphone owner. The app does not track a user’s location unless it is open, and it does not save previously visited places. To ensure broad community coverage, what3words is also being adopted by Kingston Police and Kingston CACC, a service of Kingston Health Sciences Centre that dispatches ambulances for 29 ambulance bases across 48 municipalities in our region. We’re the first ambulance dispatch service in Canada to use the app, says CACC Director Mark Halladay. It will save time and lives because it helps us to collect critical information that much faster from anyone calling 911 and struggling with their location. Then we can be absolutely specific about where we’re sending paramedics. We encourage everyone to download the application. You never know when you might need it. Deputy Chief Chris Scott with Kingston Police says that the app will be leveraged as needed, when dispatching calls. Our priority is serving and protecting our community. To do this effectively, we work with other emergency services and leverage whatever tools come along that we believe, at the end of the day, will benefit our community. The developers of what3words are also happy to add Kingston to the handful of Canadian communities embracing this technology. what3words is a technology that can benefit any community - but especially those that live an active outdoor lifestyle like in Kingston. We’re thrilled to see a smart and leading city like Kingston be among the first to embrace it in Canada. says Chris Sheldrick, CEO and co-founder of what3words. You can download what3words on your smartphone at https://buff.ly/2G1ZYqn About what3words: Co-founded in London in 2013, what3words is the simplest way to talk about location. The system covers the entire world, never needs updating, and works offline. A what3words address is a human-friendly way to share very precise locations with other people, or to input them into platforms and machines such as ride-hailing apps or e-commerce checkouts. It is optimised for voice input and contains built-in error prevention to immediately identify and correct input mistakes. The free what3words app, available for iOS and Android, and the online map enable people to find, share and navigate to what3words addresses in over 45 languages to date. Millions of what3words addresses are in use around the world, with thousands of businesses using them to save money, be more efficient and provide a better customer experience. what3words is integrated into apps, platforms and websites, with just a few lines of code. Products are available for free or for a nominal fee for qualifying NGOs. Its partners include Mercedes-Benz, Triumph Motorcycles, Premier Inn and The AA. what3words has a team of over 100 people, across offices in London UK, San-Francisco USA, Johannesburg ZA and Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. The company has raised over 50 million in capital from investors such as Intel, Aramex, Deutsche Bahn, SAIC and the Sony Investment Fund.
