Society
Ulaanbaatar, December 24, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The National Emergency Management Agency of Mongolia has launched a campaign to encourage every citizen to install the location-identifying What3Words application on their mobile phones. As part of this effort, the app has been installed and implemented for use on the mobile phones of 636,876 Mongolian citizens across 21 aimags of Mongolia.
Citizens, herders, and transporters are advised to regularly follow weather forecasts and updates, ensure proper preparation and readiness of their equipment and personal resources, and take preventive measures against potential risks.
In the event of potential dangers or emergencies, individuals can provide their location using a 3-word address via the What3Words application. Depending on their mobile device, users can download and use the application from the Play Store or App Store.
If a caller providing information or making a report cannot identify their location or provide coordinates, the caller can use the What3Words application on their smartphone, whether connected to the internet or not. By sharing their 3-word address, the precise location of the report can be determined, ensuring prompt and efficient response without delays.
