Alert SA Mobile App is the official South Australian Government App for access to real-time, relevant and personalised event and warning information.

The Alert SA app sources official data from a wide range of emergency service Agencies, Government and Community Partners. These include (but not limited) to the following sources:
• South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS)
• Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS)
• State Emergency Service (SES)
• SA Police
• SA Health
• Department for Education and Child Development (DECD)

• Bureau of Meteorology (The Bureau)
• Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
• SA Power Networks

The Alert SA App uses the information obtained from these sources to provide event summaries and warnings to keep you up to date and help you make informed decisions about your safety.

The Alert SA App aims to provide you with the most comprehensive view of event and warning information in South Australia. Further data sources may be added to the app as they become available.
