The SA Country Fire Service is testing its warning system today, Wednesday, 16 September, ahead of the Fire Danger Season.
Most Alert SA users will not receive a notification, as test incidents and warnings are being placed in remote or offshore locations for internal system testing. If you do not receive a test notification, please do not be concerned.
If you do see a warning or notification marked "TEST ONLY", please disregard it. These messages are part of planned system testing; no action is required.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure emergency warning systems are functioning as intended.
Reminder: Please be advised that today, Wednesday 16 September, CFS will be conducting a second round of testing of its warning system ahead of the upcoming Fire Danger Season.
Test warnings and incidents will be going live across our social media accounts, website and Alert SA. These test warnings will likely go unnoticed by the public and there is no action required from community members.
If you do see a test warning, please don’t be alarmed. These tests help ensure our emergency warning systems are working as they should.
