The Australian Warning System, Explained | Free 30-min Workshop
Advice. Watch and Act. Emergency Warning. You’ve seen them on the news and in your apps, but do you know what each one is asking you to do?
In this free 30-minute online session, Morgan Dunn, who has worked on the warnings side of Australian emergency management, walks you through the Australian Warning System in plain language: what each level means, what the instructions inside a warning are telling you, and how to respond with confidence instead of second-guessing.
You’ll leave knowing:
The three warning levels and what each one means for you
How to read the action statement in a warning, the part that tells you what to do
How warnings differ from Fire Danger Ratings (one of the most common mix-ups)
Where warnings appear in your state or territory
Who it’s for: households, renters, families and anyone in Australia who wants to understand warnings before they need to. No prior knowledge needed.
About your host: Morgan has worked in Australian emergency management since 2018, in public information and warnings, watch desk operations, intelligence and major incident deployments. Disaster Scout turns official information into clear, practical guidance for everyday people.
This is part two of a three-part free series. You don’t need to have attended part one. Next up: the three things your emergency plan needs.
