About HazAlerts
HazAlerts is a free page that gathers links to official hazard and weather information across Australia. It has been online since 2012.
What it offers
- Emergency numbers for police, fire, ambulance and the SES, in one place.
- Live Bureau of Meteorology warnings by state, drawn from BOM's public warning feeds.
- Links to weather maps, satellite views, earthquake and lightning trackers.
- A directory of the council finders for each state and territory.
- Preparation guides: the Australian Warning System, a household emergency plan and an emergency kit checklist.
Who runs it
HazAlerts is built and maintained by Noxidsoft, a web development business run as a sole trader in Tasmania, Australia (ABN 74 421 798 989).
Where the information comes from
The live warnings come from the Bureau of Meteorology and are refreshed on a schedule. Everything else is a link to an official or well-known source, such as BOM, state and territory emergency services, councils and the US Geological Survey. We write the guides from public guidance from those organisations. They are general advice, not instructions for your situation.
HazAlerts is not an emergency service and does not issue warnings. Warnings can be delayed or incomplete on this page. In an emergency, call 000 and follow the directions of the authorities. Always check the official source for your area.
How it is paid for
The site is free to use and earns money from Google AdSense advertising. We do not take payment to place links, and we do not run sponsored content. Ads are served by Google and are not endorsements.
Corrections
A broken link, a wrong number or an out-of-date detail can matter during an emergency. Please tell us on the contact page, and we will check it and fix it.
