Choose a Zone and/or Area and then input a precise location to help others get to the scene more efficiently. Locations can be found in 3 ways:
-
Geolocating to your current position (best if you are on a mobile device);
-
Searching for an address or place using Google Maps;
-
Searching for a location using what3words.
To use these different location searches, choose the option you need from the search bar on the map by clicking the dropdown arrow, and select either Google Maps or what3words.
You can then upload any photos or relevant documents as needed, and then assign the Incident to a Department and/or Action Owner.
