Everything is arranged around making the call

Two red tiles sit at the top of the home screen and follow the reader down every other screen as a sticky bar: the local ambulance number for the country they are in, and the diving hotline. Both carry the page they were checked against and the date. The hotline decides what happens to the casualty; the app does not.

Privacy

The app collects nothing and transmits nothing. This website counts visits, and only if you say yes. Read the privacy page.

Place names come from GeoNames, used under CC BY 4.0 and modified: filtered to selected towns, coordinates rounded to three decimals.

Tell us a number has changed

A hotline that has moved is the failure this project is most afraid of, so that is the most useful thing you can send. Contact us, or write to hello@first-minutes.com.
