Petition Action

Establish a phone alert system for national emergencies/announcements.

Petition Details

The Government should design and create a phone alerting system for national emergencies and announcements. During COVID-19 this could have helped create clarity and improve the speed of disseminating information. The Government looked into this in 2012 and decided not to implement it due to costs.

Additional Information

Had this system been in place at the start of this crisis, people across the country could have received announcements directly to mobile phones/devices across, instead of having to wait for announcements on TV. The Netherlands used their own system to do exactly this, and passed information regarding social distancing.
