ANGUILLA--Joint Emergency Services Control Room (JESCR) staff have completed seven weeks of in-tensive classroom training, which was reportedly a great success. A celebration was held on Thursday, December 26, and each member was presented with a certificate of achievement by Governor Julia Crouch.

The staff will now spend time becoming more familiar with the technology and environment whilst strengthening relations between all three emergency services to ensure the most efficient and posi-tive outcomes for the communities and visitors of Anguilla. The JESCR will be fully operational in Jan-uary.

The Three Words technology is a revolutionary technology to help locate people in an emergency. The public is encouraged to download the What3Words app to pass on their three words to the oper-ator for quick help.

The What3Words is a proprietary geocode system designed to identify any location in the world with a resolution of about three metres. What3words differs from most location-encoding systems in that it uses words rather than strings of numbers or letters, and the pattern of this mapping is not ob-vious; the algorithm mapping locations to words is copyrighted.
