The success of Switzerland's early warning system is based on three key factors: collaboration and data sharing, technological and organisational innovation, and service-oriented channels and communication.

Gathering accurate and reliable data for weather forecasts is the first link in the chain. But reliable data is only truly effective if it is shared. Switzerland's early warning system is effective because all parties – from the local to the institutional, from the municipal to the federal level – share the data they collect within the early warning network. They also share a common understanding: working together to protect the public.

The content will be shown in multimedia storytelling on digital screens and on a Swiss topography model. This storytelling with be accessible online with links provided on Postcards with a QR-Code to access it any time.
