Tune in to Stay Informed
Emergency Management and Disaster Dashboard
Council has developed a public-facing platform that acts as a one-stop shop for essential information about the local area in times of disaster. By providing easy access to up-to-date information (e.g. road closures, weather updates, school closures, emergency warnings, etc.), this dashboard provides situational awareness to the Townsville Local Disaster Management Group (TLDMG) and general community and serves as a tool for critical decision-making for the TLDMG.
Visit the Emergency Management and Disaster Dashboard at disaster.townsville.qld.gov.au.

Warnings and Alerts
Council utilises a suite of communication methods to issue warnings and alerts to the community, including:
- Emergency Management and Disaster Dashboard
- social media
- radio and TV updates
- media releases
- face-to-face (i.e., door knocking)

Emergency Alert System
Emergency Alert is the national telephone-based emergency warning system capable of sending warning messages to fixed line telephones (i.e., landlines) and mobile phones.
The Emergency Alert system provides emergency service organisations and our Local Disaster Management Group with an effective way to warn communities in the event of an emergency, such as bushfire and extreme weather events. For more information, please visit the Australian Government Emergency Alert website.
