What are the bushfire Warnings and Alerts?
Once a bushfire incident is happening, it is critical to your safety to stay up-to-date with warnings and alerts.
Australia has a standardised national system in place to keep messages and calls to action simple during an incident: the Australian Warning System (AWS).
