This DisasterWatch app is an initiative of the Australian Government. It provides access to information about disaster related events and disaster resilience in Australia.
Please note that the application does not provide emergency warnings.
DisasterWatch links to authorised websites of key emergency agencies in Australia. The information is updated approximately every 15 minutes when the device is online. DisasterWatch draws together existing public information from authorised sources.
NOTE: You should not rely upon any single source of information during an emergency; you should seek information from as many sources as possible including radio, television, and other online applications, websites or services when available. Your power supply may become unavailable if the electricity service is disrupted.

    Cannot find known disasters. One gets lost in excess entries that are seemingly not culled according to date of last real threat. Don't give up! Improve!!

    Was good until Tasmanian bushfires then overrun with twitter feeds and news items including sports results. Uninstalling as there is a better app available

    It doesn't scroll and cannot be rotated. The alerts presented cannot be selected for more information. Worst of all when they contain a URL you cannot click on it. VIC ones just give a town and street and no information on why you wouldn't go there. Gove
