Published purpose
Support for Indigenous languages in emergency alerts remains limited across Canada. This project will research, develop, and validate the capability to deliver emergency notifications in the nine Indigenous languages recognized under Canada’s Official Languages Act. Work includes language and character-set support, translation workflows, and platform integration and testing to ensure alerts remain accurate, readable, and fast to deliver. The goal is to reduce barriers to adoption and improve accessibility for Indigenous communities by enabling inclusive, reliable, multilingual emergency communications.
