Alertswiss now also in Easy Language: Warnings for everyone to understand
Published
The Swiss warning app Alertswiss now also informs the public in Easy Language. Easy Language is a particularly simple form of the German language. It helps people with learning difficulties, but also people who do not yet understand German well. With this new feature, warnings and alarms are intended to reach more people.
Alertswiss warns of dangers such as severe weather, disruptions to the drinking water supply, or other emergencies. The messages are formulated briefly and clearly. Important information comes first, and difficult words are avoided or explained. This way, users can quickly understand what is happening and how they should behave.
The new feature is part of efforts to improve access to emergency information for all people in Switzerland. Anyone who already uses the app does not need to do anything additional. The warnings continue to appear on the smartphone, and Easy Language is offered depending on the message.
The operators emphasize that good information is especially important during a crisis. With understandable texts, more people can react in time and protect themselves.
