Introducing the GoodSAM App
Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) and GoodSAM have partnered to develop a Water Rescue Equipment Register and Life Saving Map. The map plots Public Rescue Equipment (PRE), including Perry Buoys, rescue poles, and throw lines along the rivers, canals, coast and waterways of the UK and Ireland to assist in the case of an emergency incident.
With the exact location, equipment type and any unique details identified by the app, precious time is saved by emergency services or first responders during an incident, providing a higher chance of a successful rescue. Those who download the app can help save lives and populate the map by uploading a photo and the precise location of fixed water rescue equipment anywhere in the world so that others can find it in an emergency.
The app also allows people to report if equipment is missing or damaged, enabling the RLSS UK to liaise with landowners and local authorities and rectify the issue to ensure equipment is available where needed.
