The "SOS EU Alp" app is a great alternative way to report emergencies in alpine terrain in Tirol (Austria), South Tirol/Alto Adige (Italy) and Bavaria (Germany).
The Mountain Rescue Tirol Emergency Smartphone App operated by the Tirol Control Centre is a new alternative method for reporting emergencies in alpine terrain. The (almost) exact localisation of the victim by means of an integrated GPS module significantly reduces the time period between alerting emergency services and the actual rescue. The Mountain Rescue Tirol Emergency App is therefore a valuable addition to the official alpine emergency number 140 and, under certain circumstances, can even save lives.
