Rural North Wales 911 Solution: Keep Grid Coordinates Near Phone

In this rural area addresses and post codes can be few and far between so the residents association in Tŷ‘n-y-Groes took matters into their own hands. Cards were delivered to 250 homes with grid locations of their houses. The idea? When help is needed at 3 am, the caller will share the coordinates with public safety officials.

Anything that speeds emergency services is good, but this is not the ideal solution.
