AusAlert Test Explained: Australia's New National Emergency Alert System (27 July 2026)

Описание: Australia's getting a brand new emergency alert system, and it's being tested this Monday, 27 July 2026.

AusAlert is the Australian Government's new national warning system for phones, tablets, and smart watches. It's built to warn people fast during bushfires, floods, cyclones, tsunamis, biosecurity incidents, and public health emergencies. In this video I go through what AusAlert actually is, how the national test works, and what you need to do about it (short version: probably nothing).

Test times by state and territory: 2:00 pm AEST – Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania 1:30 pm ACST – Northern Territory, South Australia, Broken Hill (NSW) 12:00 pm AWST – Western Australia

The test message is a Critical Alert. It'll vibrate your phone and play a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds, even if your phone's on silent or do not disturb. It shows up on lock screens and during calls, and you'll need to dismiss it manually.

Knowing what's coming before it hits your screen means nobody in your house gets caught off guard. That's what being prepared looks like.
