No, not so you can call the RNLI out when your bath overflows and floods the house, but a desktop app that displays realtime tracking of lifeboat station callouts (you can choose which, or all) Its scary just how busy the lifeboats are!

I know organisations such as RNLI prefer to be independent, but I still think it stinks that they, and others, have to rely so heavily on voluntary support to maintain such a vital service.
