New app aims to keep travellers safe outdoors
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A new app for smartphones allows those who love to get outside an opportunity to let know they’re safe.
The AdventureSmart Trip Plan app, created by the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada, launched in February. South East Alberta Search and Rescue (SEASAR), the local search and rescue organization, are members of the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada.
“It’s talking about the three Ts, which is training, taking the essentials and trip planning,” said Sue Berner, a search manager with SEASAR.
