Digital preparation pays off: How the canton of Solothurn got through the corona crisis with e-mergency
A recent review of five years of pandemic history in the Solothurner Zeitung newspaper impressively shows how crucial good preparation can be in times of crisis. The article highlights the experiences of the canton of Solothurn during the first lockdown and explicitly shows how the emergency app for schools, which was introduced before the pandemic, was able to make its contribution.
What was originally developed as a precautionary measure for potential rampages proved to be a crucial management and communication tool during the pandemic: school administrators were able to access up-to-date instructions and checklists via the app at any time in order to manage teaching operations in the best possible way - even under great time pressure.

In an environment in which even cantonal authorities had hardly any lead time to communicate with the general public, the emergency app for schools from e-mergency AG helped to communicate information quickly, purposefully and in a structured manner - a clear advantage in the hectic initial phase of the pandemic.
We are delighted that our solution was able to provide reliable services to the canton of Solothurn during one of the most challenging phases in recent history. This example shows: Digital emergency solutions such as e-mergency create real resilience - and not just for scenarios that can be predicted.
