AusAlert – New Emergency Warning System
The Australian Government is introducing a new emergency warning system later this year called AusAlert.
AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices, including Smart watches, during local and national disasters. These messages aim to keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.
In the lead-up to AusAlert being used, there will be some testing of the system during June and July.
A regional test is happening in the Launceston area on Monday, 15 June at 11am followed by a national test on Monday, 27 July at 2pm.
