Residential fire: issuing clear warnings in every language

A fire in a diverse residential neighbourhood affects people who speak many different languages and come from a wide range of backgrounds. CrisisRadar helps local authorities and housing associations to issue multilingual alerts quickly, inform family members abroad and organise appropriate accommodation.

Het scenario

Wat er gebeurt

A fire destroys several homes in a neighbourhood where people of many different nationalities live together. Residents have to be evacuated, but by no means everyone understands the instructions given in Dutch. Family members in other countries only see snippets on social media and become worried. Within half an hour, evacuation notices must be issued in several languages, family members abroad must be provided with reassuring information, and accommodation must be arranged that takes cultural and linguistic considerations into account. Clear communication in their own language remains essential in the weeks that follow.
