Warnings
All Queenslanders should be familiar with the official warning system for fire and hazardous material incidents. When there’s a fire or hazardous material incident in your area, it’s up to you to take notice, stay informed, make decisions and act.
Advice
Advice warnings are yellow.
Advice warnings mean you are not in danger but you need to be alert and listen for warnings in case the hazard gets worse or closer to you.
Watch & Act
Watch and Act warnings are orange.
If there is a Watch and Act warning issued for your area, you could be in danger because conditions are changing. You need to act now to be safe.
Emergency Warning
An Emergency Warning is red.
This is the highest level of warning. Emergency Warnings mean you are in danger and you need to act IMMEDIATELY to be safe. The warning will list the actions you need to take to survive.
