20.01.2022 Victoria is going to implement the first step towards the new national warning system from today. In support of the new national warning system Victoria will adopt the new national icons set from December 2, 2020. The Australian Warning System is a new national approach to information and warnings during five natural disasters - bushfire, flood, extreme heat, cyclones and severe weather. Until now, we have seen variations in how agencies across Australia issue warnings to their communities. The VicEmergency website will be updated with the new iconography on December 2, with the VicEmergency app updated shortly afterwards.

02.01.2022 Launched by the Play it Safe by the Water Committee as part of Water Safety Week, Life Saving Victoria has released the 2019/20 Victorian Drowning Report at the... official launch event with Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp APM. There were 34 drowning deaths in 2019/20 and while this is a 23% reduction in the drowning rate compared to the 10-year average, these figures need to be understood in the context of a season impacted by poor air quality, bushfires and the onset of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This is reflected in the 40% reduction in drowning deaths between January to June 2020 compared to the 10-year average. All Victorians are urged to be extra vigilant around water this summer to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Remember to always swim with a friend between the red and yellow flags at a patrolled beach and be prepared before a day out on or around the water by checking conditions and forecasts.
