During heatwaves, local governments throughout the country take a number of measures and regularly try to inform people about them in order to mitigate the negative effects of the heat on the population. However, information and help are only worth as much as they can be delivered to the residents. In this regard, an international development already operating at home, which has also recently proven to be useful, is a huge step forward.

The Czech-developed communication network called Munipolis specifically serves the community information flow, but its purpose is not entertainment. With its help, for example, a municipality, a large company or any other institution or organization can immediately reach interested people, and this does not even necessarily require a smartphone, since the notification can be sent by SMS, e-mail, or even by phone.

“The extraordinary heat wave experienced in recent days and which is still going on is especially affecting the elderly, and while they are most in need of help and information, they are the most difficult to reach in terms of communication”

‒ Erik Czinger, head of the company’s domestic representation, explained the situation. This has now been recognized in more and more domestic settlements, where Munipolis has been deployed to effectively deliver notifications to their destination.
