What are emergency alerts and warnings?

Emergency warnings help protect you by encouraging quick, protective actions based on ongoing hazard monitoring. Knowing what different alerts mean can help you make faster, safer decisions.

Warnings provide information about a hazard’s impact so you can respond appropriately. However, not all emergencies come with advance notice, so it’s essential to stay aware of local risks.

Familiarise yourself with alert notifications and keep in contact with neighbours, friends, and family for timely updates.
