ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

NL-Alert

NL-Alert is like a really loud alarm that can send important messages to your Mommy or Daddy's phone. It can also appear on the screen of their phone even if they're not using it.

The alarm is used to tell people about a dangerous situation that might be happening nearby, like a fire or a flood. The messages can tell them what to do to stay safe, like to stay in their house or to go to a special place where it's safe.

NL-Alert is run by the government to make sure that people are safe when there's an emergency.
