RV FEATURE
5 . IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
We highly recommend that you download the free Emergency + app to your smartphone before heading off . This app was developed by Australia ’ s emergency services and various government agencies and industry partners . It uses the phone ’ s GPS functionality to help a triple zero caller provide critical location details required to mobilise emergency services . In an instant , it will provide your latitude and longitude .
Obviously , still carry a sat phone or some other means of emergency communication , since mobile coverage is scare outside of major towns and regional centres . But since this app is free , why not download it ? It might just save your life .
