🤳🆘️ Download the Emergency+ App 🆘️🤳

📲The Emergency Plus App is designed to help people call emergency service quickly. It can provide your exact GPS coordinates so you can read them directly to the operator.

While it’s commonly used for road accidents and bush emergencies, it’s also incredibly handy for marine incidents particularly as a back up.

If you ever need to contact Coast Guard or emergency services from the water, being able to provide accurate latitude and longitude coordinates can make all the difference.

⚓ Faster response times
📍 Precise location details
🚤 Less confusion when you’re offshore or out of sight of landmarks

When you’re on the water, saying “I’m somewhere off the coast” isn’t enough. Clear GPS coordinates help rescue crews get to you faster and safer.

We strongly encourage all boaties to have some way of providing coordinates and the Emergency Plus app is an option. It’s free, simple to use, and could save valuable time in an emergency, particularly if you have navigation and electronic issues on your boat.

Stay safe. Stay prepared. And always log on before you log off.
