What is the Australian Warning System?
​The Australian Warning System is a new national approach to information and warnings during emergencies and natural disasters like bush fire, flood, storm, extreme heat and severe weather.

The System uses a nationally consistent set of icons, like those above, to show incidents on website and apps.
The System has been designed based on feedback and research across the country, and aims to deliver a more consistent approach to these types of emergencies, no matter where you are.
Australia’s fire and emergency services aim to provide you with timely and relevant information during emergencies.
​

Remember – don’t wait for a warning. Take action quickly and don’t delay.
