NOTE: every mobile phone in Australia will receive a test alert on Monday 27 July. Devices may vibrate and play a siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds, even if they are on silent or ‘do not disturb’. If a device is turned off, the alert will sound when it is switched back on. For more information see:

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.
