The Australian Government is working closely with states and territories to build and test the AusAlert system.

State and territory emergency communications

State and territory emergency services know their local environments best and each jurisdiction has websites and apps that provide emergency and hazard information to local communities. These remain an important and trusted source of information before and during emergencies.

Use local resources alongside AusAlert to be as informed as possible about hazards and emergencies that may affect you.

AusAlert will eventually replace Emergency Alert, which is Australia’s existing national SMS-based alert system.
