Watch for the Warnings - Australian Warning System Campaign
Back
From 1 November 2023, Queensland is implementing the Australian Warning System (AWS) across five hazards (bushfire, heatwave, flood, cyclone and storm) changing the way people are alerted to natural disaster events.
The new AWS means that warnings will be consistent across the country and across hazards, making it easier to follow and understand. Every warning will have an icon that tells you what the hazard is, a color that identifies the warning level and actions people need to take to be safe.
