Disaster Scout App

Australia’s modern emergency information platform.

All in one emergency app for Australia
All in one emergency app for Australia

View incidents, warnings and hazards from multiple Australian jurisdictions in one clear, easy-to-understand place, built by a real emergency management professional.

Disaster Scout is building a national view of emergency information across Australia bringing together official incidents, warnings and hazard updates from fire, weather and emergency agencies into one modern interface.

Instead of jumping between multiple government websites and apps, Disaster Scout helps you:

  • understand what’s happening

  • distinguish incidents from warnings

  • view hazards across jurisdictions

  • quickly scan official information in a calmer, clearer format

Key Features

  • Track incidents and warnings across supported Australian states and territories from one interface.

  • Know the difference between operational incidents and public warnings/action messages.

  • Quickly switch between geographic awareness and a clean, easy-to-scan list view.

  • Every warning or incident links directly back to the responsible emergency agency.

  • Built to reduce overwhelm and make emergency information easier to interpret during stressful situations.

Current Beta Coverage

Launching beta support with:

  • Queensland

  • New South Wales

  • South Australia

  • ACT

Additional jurisdictions and hazard feeds are being added over time.

Why Disaster Scout Exists

Emergency information is often fragmented across multiple agencies, maps and websites.

Disaster Scout aims to bring official hazards, incidents and warnings into one easier-to-view experience while still encouraging users to follow official emergency service advice.

Built by an Australian emergency management and public information professional with experience across emergency services, warnings and disaster communication.

Important Notice

Disaster Scout aggregates publicly available emergency information from official sources.

Always follow instructions from emergency services and check official government sources during emergencies.
