Have fun, festival and laugh, but safe. Summer is the right time to go to festivals or very festive events as fairs. But unfortunately, these moments of joy can sometimes include certain risks.
This July 9, Bayonne’s celebrations begin, with tens of thousands of expected participants. Several fights in the past have marked the event, encouraging security applications.
Tech & Co offers its selection of applications dedicated to summer festivities to have a good time safe.
Surveillance parties (iOS, Android)
For Bayonne’s celebrations, the city has developed an official application that has several very practical elements, including an emergency button to easily call help. In addition, a card allows you to see emergency stations or shelters very quickly in case of assault.
Safer (iOS, Android)
It is the Star application present in many cities. Safer was designed by an association, Orange, with the aim of ensuring particular experience and festivals as much as possible.
If the event in question is present, you can quickly alert safety on the site, with three possible options: indicate “be ashamed”, “be harassed” or “in danger.” Then a cat from the alert sent to receive precious advice is shown, waiting for possible help.
My angels (on Myangels.app)
Developed in Brittany, My Angels is one of the latest applications that seek to ensure passages at the festival or in the afternoon. It is available in a dedicated site through the browser. In the safest model, there are three categories here: “harassment and discomfort”, “security” and “health”, which can then be detailed to send it to security equipment.
The application has a board that lists all complaints. Above all, it allows the geolocation of its user, quite precision. He is acting every two minutes, which allows agents to meet you. Their designers also hope to generalize it to village emptiness or stations.
You can also inform dangers or risks in certain places, pointing out the location (of a bar, for example). Finally, its designers explain that its web application has been specifically developed to be usable even in case the mobile network is low.
Your phone and watch can also help you
We do not necessarily know, but your watch, the Android smartphone or the iPhone can also help you in case of a problem. In iOS as on Android, you can make sure you send your precise location to one or more contacts. In addition, it can also benefit in a “SOS” mode, which will automatically send a message to different people previously selected by you.
The same goes for several applications well known as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Uber. You can send your itinerary or location in an instant t and, therefore, inform your loved ones of your current trips.
