Stay informed

It's important to know the different ways you can stay informed during an emergency.

Emergency Mobile Alerts

Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by authorised emergency agencies to capable mobile phones.

The alerts are designed to keep people safe and are broadcast to all capable phones from targeted cell towers.

The alerts are targeted to areas affected by serious hazards and will only be sent when there is a serious threat to life, health or property, and, in some cases, for test purposes.
