In Usap Tayo, we discussed the test of Australia's new location-based emergency warning system, AusAlert, on compatible mobile phones nationwide on Monday afternoon.
Key Points
- The test will trigger a ten-second siren, vibration, and full-screen message on compatible mobile phones, even on silent mode.
- AusAlert uses cell broadcast technology to deliver urgent disaster warnings faster and more reliably than standard text messages.
- People who maintain concealed safety phones are advised to turn off their devices or use airplane mode to prevent the alarm from sounding.
