Emergency app

You’re cruising along the Cobb Highway, it’s a wonderful drive, and your music is on and it’s loud. Suddenly you come across a crash, injured people, but you don’t have service to contact essential help.

What do you do? Well, if you have the app Emergency Plus, you’re covered.

The Emergency+ app is a free app developed by Australia’s emergency services and their government and industry partners.

The app uses GPS functionality built into smart phones to help a Triple Zero (000) caller provide critical location details required to mobilise emergency services.

For a simple search and download in the Apple Store or Google Play, you’ll never have to worry about being in a black spot or no service area if an emergency crops up.
