At 81, Helen describes herself as “not very au fait with technology.” Like many older South Australians, she didn’t grow up with smartphones or apps. But when her son downloaded the Alert SA app onto her phone, Helen was pleasantly surprised.
She says it’s easy to use — even for someone who doesn’t consider herself tech-savvy.
Her favourite features?
• 🗺️ The live map: Helen can see straight away if anything is happening near her.
• ℹ️ Emergency information: Clear, reliable updates that help her know what to do.
For Helen, Alert SA isn’t just an app — it’s reassurance. It helps her feel informed and connected during emergencies, giving her peace of mind that she’ll have the latest warnings at her fingertips.
Helen’s story is also a reminder: you don’t have to wait for someone to ask. If you’ve got parents, grandparents, neighbours, or friends who aren’t confident with technology, set it up for them. A few minutes could make a huge difference in an emergency.
