The VicEmergency app provides a centralised location for Victorians to access timely emergency information and warnings.

The app includes warnings and incident notifications for fire, flood, storm, earthquake, tsunami, weather warnings, shark sightings, beach closures and more.

It uses that information to provide incident summaries and warnings to help you make informed decisions about your safety.

You can download the app from the App Store https://apps.apple.com/au/app/vicemergency/id356559665, or Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details...

In order to receive location specific app alerts when warnings are issued or incidents occur, you must create a watch zone to stay informed this summer!
