The Emergency Management in Australia website is part of the national Triple Zero (000) campaign that aims to build awareness of the Triple Zero (000) number and educate the community about when to use the number.
The campaign serves to reinforce to members of the public their responsibilities when calling the Triple Zero (000) emergency number both in nominating the required emergency service and identifying the location they are calling from.
The campaign uses the Internet, newspapers, radio and television to promote messages of Triple Zero (000). In addition, elements of the campaign have been translated to reach culturally and linguistically diverse communities throughout Australia.
There is also a ‘Triple Zero Kids’ challenge online safety game that raises awareness of what to do in a crisis amongst children in schools.
Did you know that there is now also a 106 Text Emergency Call service? This service is not SMS but an emergency call service for the speech and hearing impaired?
