Understanding What3Words
Safer Farming Starts with Accurate Location: Use What3Words
Using What3Words is increasingly important for Powys farmers, especially those working in remote, rural areas where traditional addresses or postcodes may be inaccurate or nonexistent. It is the easiest way to describe any precise location.
What3Words divides the world into 3-metre squares, assigning each a unique three-word identifier (e.g., ///fields.sheep.gate), making it easier for emergency services, contractors, vets, or delivery drivers to locate specific sites on a farm quickly and precisely. This can be lifesaving in urgent situations like accidents, fires, or animal health emergencies.
Welsh emergency services, including fire, police, and ambulance teams, actively use What3Words for rapid response in rural areas. Farmers can download the free app at what3words.com to start using it today. It's a simple tool that brings clarity, safety, and speed when it matters most.
