We couldn't have done it without you! (apologies to those I couldn't tag)

Does your alarm chirp occasionally? That means the battery is going flat.

Change your smoke alarms to ones with 10-year lithium batteries, so you can be protected longer.

Only working smoke alarms save lives

Reminder to everyone that the AusAlert national test is coming up Monday 27th July at 2pm AEST

AusAlert is Australia’s new national warning system.

It does not replace VicEmergency and will only be used in certain situations.

AusAlert is being tested at 2 pm on Monday 27 July.

What to expect: You’ll get an alert on your mobile device. It will vibrate and make a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds - even if your phone is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

Safety: If this test could cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time. Leave them off for at least one hour.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything. However, in an actual disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.

To hear what an AusAlert sounds like and to learn more, visit ausalert.gov.au.
