Get Ready NSW

When there are bushfires, floods or storms, Emergency Services issue simple warnings to help you make faster decisions.

There are three warning levels:

Yellow Advice level means you’re not in danger yet but stay alert.

Orange Watch and Act level means start taking action now. Conditions are changing.

Red Emergency Warning level means take action immediately.

Any delay puts your life at risk. Emergencies can escalate quickly, so staying alert is important.

Know the warnings. Plan ahead.
