FAO: Belmont and Highton folks.
At about 2pm, Belmont and Highton residents may hear a loud, siren-like sound and feel their device vibrate for 10 seconds due to an AusAlert test. The federal government has confirmed this is only a test and no action is needed. AusAlert is a new national system that sends emergency warnings directly to mobile devices during disasters and is set to launch in October.
