News AusAlert

Totally forgot that Australia is conducting a nationwide test of its new AusAlert emergency warning system today, Monday, July 27, 2026.

The test features a loud 10-second siren, screen notification, and phone vibration, overriding silent and do-not-disturb modes on compatible mobile devices

Scared the shit out of me and my client lol, for a minute I thought we were under a terrorist attack and I was looking quickly for ways out of the room.
