Case Study: Infinitum Humanitarian Systems achieves rapid disaster response with what3words

Rapid response with what3words and Infinitum Humanitarian Systems

Infinitum Humanitarian Systems (IHS) faced a major challenge in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew: damaged roads, destroyed landmarks, and poor addressing made it difficult to identify exact locations for relief work and coordinate aid. The humanitarian response team needed a fast, reliable way to share precise positions while delivering clean water and preventing cholera outbreaks, and they turned to what3words for location sharing.

what3words provided IHS with a simple three-word address system that let teams pinpoint and communicate locations quickly with each other and with HQ and the UN WASH Cluster. Using what3words, IHS helped supply power, lighting, and clean water to a remote clinic, supported more than 700 cholera vaccinations, and installed solar power and a permanent water purification system managed by local staff.
