05.01.2022 Since October 2017, there has been a national commitment to move towards consistent warning icons across a range of hazards throughout all Australian states and... territories. The CFS has taken the lead in this national work over the past 3 years, ensuring a robust evidence-based approach to support these changes around the country. From today, the colours and symbology associated with the three warning levels will change to reflect the following: o Advice yellow (formerly blue) o Watch and Act orange (formerly yellow) o Emergency Warning red (has not changed). The new icons will be used to alert and inform the community and emergency service workers about the level of threat from a going incident and will be linked to consistent warning messages and calls to action. By implementing these changes, we can support border communities and those travelling around Australia to understand the level of risk they are faced with in a range of emergency situations, and the actions they need to take to keep themselves safe. CRIIMSON and the CFS Website have been updated to reflect the new warning system and icons. We encourage you to use these new materials in any public facing activities. It is intended that over time, the same style of icons will be consistent across the country for: o Bushfire o Flood o Cyclones o Extreme heat o Extreme weather For more information and to download a fact sheet, visit https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/warnings-and-/about-cfs-warnings/
