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.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
