Source: South Australia Emergency Services Minister
"Emergency Services Minister, Michael Wright, today launched a new telephone-based warning system that will alert South Australians in the event of a life-threatening emergency. A full test of ‘Alert SA’, the new emergency warning system, will take place on Kangaroo Island on Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th of December with the system expected to "go live" across the State before Christmas. ‘Alert SA’, will also offer people a dedicated major emergency website www.alert.sa.gov.au, a recorded information line and a call centre to support people seeking accurate, up to date information in a major emergency."
