The Australian Fire Danger Rating System is used to alert communities when to start preparing in case of fire. The Australian Warning System is used for advising the threat level of different natural hazards already unfolding.
The four colour-coded categories of the Fire Danger Ratings are:
- Moderate (green): Plan and prepare
- High (yellow): Prepare to act
- Extreme (orange): Take action now to protect your life and property
- Catastrophic (red): For your survival, leave bush fire risk areas.
In case of emergency, dial triple zero (000)
