NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Department of Emergency Communications will be on the ground throughout CMA Fest making sure the public is safe and get help when needed.
They want to remind the public that if you see something that seems out of place or strange to say something and report it right away. When it comes to making sure you and your friends are safe at the festival, they encourage people to download the free what3words app before heading downtown.
This app breaks the map into small squares and gives each one a unique three-word location. You can watch this quick video explaining how it works here.
You're also advised to download the free CMA Connect app to get maps, schedules, updates and important alerts in real time.

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
