New national guidance for public information and warnings - Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience

27 November 2018

The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience recently published the Public Information and Warnings Handbook – the authoritative national guide for those who provide warnings before, during and after emergencies. The handbook outlines evidence-based, nationally agreed principles and provides guidance on developing and issuing warnings. The handbook was developed collaboratively with cross-sector input from Australian and international experts. It responds to Recommendation 2 of the 2014 National Review of Warnings and Information (ANZEMC 2015), to advance a national approach through improved knowledge management.
