What will the alert say?

While every message is different, the alert will provide official and authorised emergency information on the current situation, tell you what actions need to be taken and also give you a reference to get further information or advice. When you pick up your landline phone you will hear the Standard Emergency Warning Signal (68kb, mp3) followed by the words ‘Emergency, emergency’. The landline message will be spoken in English so if you do not understand the message, you should ask a family member, friend or neighbour for assistance.
