We've all blocked a number after receiving an unwanted text or call, but if you see +61 444 444 444 pop up on your phone, it is important you do not block this one. This phone number is linked to Emergency Alert, a national telephone warning system used by emergency services across the country to send voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobiles within a specific area to warn people about current emergencies. Emergency Alert is not used in all situations, so it’s important to rely on more than just one source of emergency information.
