Getting caught unprepared in a natural disaster such as a bush fire can be terrifying, but some simple precautionary actions can be taken with the help of emergency information phone apps from the NSW government.
Two apps in particular are regarded as potentially life-saving additions to your phone: the Hazards Near Me NSW app and the Emergency Plus app, both instantly available to download free through the website, nsw.gov.au/GetReadyNSW.
With information sourced directly from emergency service authorities, and replacing the previous Fires Near Me NSW app, the Hazards Near Me NSW app is a gateway to reliable emergency updates on bushfires and floods in regional areas.
The Hazards Near Me NSW app provides information about local bush fires, fire danger ratings, fire bans and hazard reductions.
If you are caught up in an emergency, time and location accuracy are critical, which is where the Emergency Plus app comes in. This app gives your precise location to emergency services, using three unique words and a tool to help you ring Triple Zero quickly.
