Met de Red Alert app op je smartphone ben je als eerste op de hoogte als er levensgevaarlijke drugs in omloop zijn. Wat is een Red Alert? Het Trimbos-instituut houdt de drugsmarkt in Nederland in de gaten. Dit doen zij onder andere door drugs afkomstig van gebruikers te checken op inhoud. Wanneer er in drugs stoffen worden aangetroffen die een acuut gevaar vormen voor de volksgezondheid, bijvoorbeeld vervuilde XTC pillen zijn, of pillen met een extreem hoge dosering MDMA, wordt een Red Alert gestart. Op dat moment worden gezondheidsinstanties en de media op de hoogte gebracht. Het publiek wordt op de hoogte gebracht door nieuwsberichten, posters en flyers op feesten. Het doel van een Red Alert is zoveel mogelijk mensen op de hoogte te brengen en daarmee het aantal incidenten zo klein mogelijk te houden. Over de Red Alert App Download de app en: • Krijg direct een melding als er een Red Alert is • Ontdek hoe en waar jij je drugs kunt laten testen • Lees hoe je de risico's van drugs kunt beperken
