Visitors to Dorset advised to stay safe this summer at popular tourist destinations
Residents and visitors to Dorset are being advised how to stay safe during the holiday season. With thousands of tourists expected to visit the jurassic coast and beaches, local police and ambulance services have issued guidance. Dorset Police say there will be more visible police patrols with July and August being their busiest time of year. At peak times, busy town centres and beachfronts will be serviced by the force's officers with the aim to reduce anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. Police say repeated behaviour may lead to further action, including community protection notices and criminal behaviour orders. Police community support officers (PCSO), special constables and local authority community safety patrol officers (CSAS) will also be visible. Meanwhile, South West Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is calling on the public to 'plan ahead' to keep their crews free for emergencies. Advice includes spending 15 minutes to learn how to do CPR, and learning where the nearest defibrillator is to your home or holiday address. They also are encouraging the public to stay out of the direct sun in hot weather, especially between the hours of 11am and 3pm, and to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The service are also stressing that people know how to describe where they are, especially in a remote or rural area, by using their What3Words to dispatchers. Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner, David Sidwick said, "Through high-visibility patrols, robust policing and effective community engagement, Dorset Police will continue to ensure everyone who lives, works and visits Dorset is safe – and feels safe - this summer. "I know the next few weeks are likely to be even busier than they have already, and I am confident the Force is prepared to tackle the extra demand and ensure our area remains one of the safest places in the country." Meanwhile, Nick Reynolds, Head of Ambulance Operations (South Area) at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, said, "The school summer holidays are always an incredibly busy time for our teams, and we want to make sure we're there for everyone who needs us in a medical emergency. "I want to thank our staff and NHS colleagues who continue to work tirelessly through this challenging period to support our communities."

Gwent farmers urged to ‘look out, look up' and stay safe
National Grid Electricity Distribution, which serves South and West Wales, the Midlands, and South West England, has shared its simple but important message: 'look out, look up'. The reminder is part of a wider effort to reduce the number of incidents involving farm machinery and power lines. Incidents involving overhead power lines can result in serious injury or, in some cases, be fatal. But they can also cause disruption to electricity supplies, affecting homes, businesses and essential services. Christopher Cleveland, head of safety at National Grid Electricity Distribution, said: 'We know the importance of farming is to the UK, how hard farmers work, and how much they rely on their equipment to get the job done. But we also know how dangerous it can be when machinery gets too close to live power lines. 'That's why we're urging everyone in the farming community to take a moment to 'look out and look up' before starting work. A few seconds of awareness can save lives. 'We're committed to supporting farmers in Gwent and beyond with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe.' Farmers are also being encouraged to use the What3Words app to help emergency services and engineers locate incidents quickly and accurately, helping to reduce response times and improve safety.

Evart firefighters rescue person from woods using phone app. Here's how
Evart Area firefighters say they were able to locate a lost person "deep" in a state forest on Monday, June 22, in part, thanks to an app that allows residents to connect with emergency response personnel. The Evart Area Fire Department said in a Facebook post that the individual had run out of water, was disoriented and unable to find their way out of a the forest. "Quick thinking by Meceola Central Dispatch," which serves Mecosta and Osceola counties, allowed first responders to text with the person and obtain a location using What3Words technology, an app designed to identify and share exact locations based on three unrelated words. The release said the fire department deployed two brush units, two ATVs, and a rescue unit into the area and, with the coordinates provided through the app, quickly located, and removed the individual from the forest. "This successful outcome was made possible through the power of technology, the coordination of Meceola Central Dispatch, and the dedication of our fire/rescue teams," the post said. What3Words is a geocoding application that uses sets of three words instead of alphanumeric coordinates to identify locations, according to the National Library of Medicine. The application has grown in popularity over the past few years and is used by emergency services worldwide. The app provides every 10-square-foot (3 square meters) area around the world a unique combination of three words. You can download it to your phone on Apple or Android devices. The app is free to download and use. To share a what3words address over the phone or in a text message, you need phone signal or a data connection. You also need a data connection to load maps, or share an address in other apps or on social media. No. What3words addresses can be used even by those without the app. Send a person the address as a link so they can view it on an online map.
