ABC: Your Emergency Broadcaster

Good afternoon,
At the ABC we’re dedicated to helping you during natural disasters and extreme weather events.
With unprecedented bushfire conditions affecting many of us, we have a few tips on how to be prepared and stay up to date with the latest emergency warnings and advice.
If you’re close to or in an emergency situation, your local ABC Radio station will provide the latest emergency warnings and advice, as supplied by the relevant emergency agencies.
There any many ways you can tune in - via AM/FM radio, the ABC listen app, online streaming via the local website or ABC Radio website, your smart speaker, or DAB+ Digital radio in metropolitan areas.
Would you know how to find us if the power and the internet is down? Be prepared - invest in a battery-operated radio and find and save your local ABC Radio station’s AM or FM frequency, so you know it’s there when you need it.
Follow your local ABC on social media and follow @abcemergency on facebook and twitter.
Listen to your local ABC Radio for emergency warnings and updates and for the latest news coverage on the fires visit news.abc.net.au or the ABC News app for up-to-the-minute coverage in our live blog.
ABC News has reporters at the main fire fronts and will have up to date information as the bushfire threat unfolds.
