It is useful to understand if the OP requires the reader to know that the events in chapters 1 and 2 take place simultaneously. These are different places, perhaps it is not important that they take place with some special synchronization. If it is important, then the synchronizing events can be emphasized, and the reader will align the timelines to those events.

It is perhaps cliche, but simply beginning Chapter 2 with an italicized "Meanwhile on <place 2>..." could be all the hint a reader needs. If the setting is bouncing between chapters, a localizing tag at the beginning of the chapter is a device that, as a reader, I find helpful.

Chapter 1
<Place 1>

Chapter 2
Meanwhile on <Place 2>
