June 6, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia’s emergency warning and alerts system is about to undergo a major upgrade with the adoption of a new cell broadcast National Messaging System (NMS).<\/p>\n

The upgrade also aims to improve communications between emergency crews responding to disasters such as bushfires and floods.<\/p>\n

According to the Federal Government, first responders will be able to receive near instant access to data, images and information in critical situations.<\/p>\n

Real time, data-rich analytics, situational awareness and cross-border communications will be enabled between ground crews, aircraft and incident control centres.<\/p>\n

The new system will also improve how States and Territories issue alerts and warnings to mobile phones and devices during a crisis or emergency event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is anticipated the NMS will be designed, built and tested over the next 18 months and will become operational by late next year.<\/p>\n

It will draw on technology already used overseas.<\/p>\n

The system aims to improve the ability to send prioritised warnings from trusted sources and mitigate the spread of misinformation during disasters.<\/p>\n

Governments will be able to send messages in English and a second language in order to provide accurate, official information to multicultural communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
