We look at a number of factors, such as internet connectivity in the affected area, the availability of official content from governments and other authoritative organizations, and the impact on the ground. SOS Alerts are typically available in the primary languages of the affected area, as well as English.
While we can’t guarantee that you’ll see an SOS Alert for every major crisis, we aim to make them available more broadly over time. Please tap the Feedback link on any SOS Alert if you have suggestions on how we can improve. We’d appreciate your input.
