It’s important to remind communities to be prepared for different seasonal conditions. To support your efforts in this, we have toolkits that can be used to help spread the message about downloading and using what3words. When it comes to emergencies, it’s good to make sure members of the public always #KnowExactlyWhere.

See how to talk about what3words during the spring and winter seasons with the toolkits below.

Adventures in the great outdoors

Do you cover regions that include trails, conservation areas, or parks? As data reception in the outdoors can often be unreliable, adventurers should have the what3words app with them before they head out. It works offline and is a simple way to communicate location over the radio if assistance is required.

Edit the wording in [brackets] to make the messaging relevant for your area. Click the copy button to grab it:
