Finland Leads on Emergency Alerting
Finland is creating a new app called ‘112-sovellus’ to send emergency alerts. This project started a while ago. Experts are wondering why Finland is doing this when another system already exists.
The Emergency Services Institute has been working on the ‘112-sovellus’ app for some time. The app will send alerts to people. This is happening even though a similar system works in Europe. Some people think Finland should work with the existing system. This could save time and money.
