Rejected petition All govt emergency mobile alerts in Wales to be delivered simultaneously in English and Welsh.
Emergency alerts are designed to provide clear, immediate information where public safety may be at risk. If recipients cannot understand the message, it can cause confusion, anxiety and delay appropriate action. While I fully support the Welsh language, life-saving communications should be instantly accessible to all who receive them.
I would welcome your views on how future alerts will ensure clear and simultaneous communication in both English and Welsh.

I am writing to express concern about the emergency mobile alert issued yesterday, which many recipients appear to have received in Welsh before receiving any English explanation.

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
