Look out for Emergency Alerts on your phone

Emergency Alert is the national telephone warning system that emergency services can use to provide warnings to landlines and mobile phones. Messages will come from +61 444 444 444. Emergency Alert will not be used in all circumstances – the service also relies on active telecommunication networks and message delivery cannot be guaranteed.

Do not wait for a warning to act

It is important to be aware of what is happening around you. Act decisively as soon as you know there is danger – do not rely solely on an official warning.

If it’s flooded, forget it

Entering flood waters is extremely dangerous and can quickly place you in a life-threatening situation. Flood waters can hide all kinds of debris – do not attempt to drive through – no matter how well you know the road. Learn more here.
