When there is an incident that threatens lives or property, FESA activates the public information system.
Emergency alerts are only issued for major emergencies involving cyclones, fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and hazardous material spills.
During a major emergency you can also find information on:
- FESA’s recorded information line - 1300 657 209.
- Emergency broadcasts on your local ABC radio station frequency.
- TV and radio news bulletins, print and online newspapers.
- A staffed community information line may be setup. The number is publicised on the recorded information line when available.
- A TV crawler displaying messages at the bottom of the screen may be used.
