AusAlert, a new national emergency messaging system born out of the Black Summer bushfires, will conduct a nationwide test on Monday at 2pm AEST before its October implementation. The system pings off multiple mobile towers and networks to deliver alerts, though some state governments are considering maintaining their own warning systems alongside it. Concerns have been raised about gaps in coverage, including risks to hidden domestic violence safety phones and areas with poor mobile reception where landline alerts will continue.
