Emergency response

Australia's national emergency warning messaging system used to send emergency warnings to compatible devices during disasters.

Emergency response plans, state, territory and federal.

It’s important to be prepared for a crisis and know what to do when one happens. There are roles for everyone to play before, during and after a crisis.

Crisis exercising is using simulated scenarios that are designed to replicate real-life crisis situations. They’re done to help people and organisations prepare and respond to these emergency situations, when or if they actually happen.

We're maximising the Australian Government's capacity to support states and territories responses to major disasters.

We are working to shape the future fleet of aircraft that can be used for firefighting, emergency rescue and evacuation and other emergency assistance.

We lead the National Coordination Mechanism. It unites all levels of Australian government, industry and non-government organisations for crisis management.

Before each Higher Risk Weather Season, we work with Australians, industry and government so they understand their risk.

The National Situation Room (NSR) is a 24/7 facility run by us. It provides whole-of-government all-hazards monitoring and reporting. It's also where we operate the National Joint Common Operating Picture (NJCOP) and National Security Hotline (NSH)

We’ve developed and put into operation the Crisis Appreciation and Strategic Planning (CASP) process to respond to the growing threat of complex and potentially catastrophic crises in Australia.
