The Australian Early Warning Network (EWN) provides emergency alerts covering everything from tsunamis through to severe weather. It monitors and tracks potentially dangerous weather systems and uses the network to alert people directly in the path of an event such as a thunderstorm with the potential for hail, flash flooding or damaging winds.

Free alerts via SMS are available for residents of approved councils (such as Brisbane City Council). Email and desktop alerts are delivered free to everyone. New members not part of the participating councils will receive the first three months SMS alerts free.

After this period they can elect to keep receiving these SMS alerts at a cost of one dollar per month or to continue to receive just the email and desktop alerts.
