Tasmania SES warnings use a nationally consistent set of icons from the Australian Warning System (AWS), a national approach to help all people across Australia easily identify the type of hazard and warning level.

Warnings provide point-in-time information about a hazard that is impacting or is expected to impact communities. 

There are three levels within the AWS – Advice, Watch and Act and Emergency Warning. For each level, there are a series of clear action statements to guide positive action by the community. These include ‘stay informed’, ‘prepare to evacuate’ and ‘move to higher ground’.

建議 (黃色)： 已發生事件。目前沒有立即危險。請隨時更新最新情況，以防局勢變動。.
觀察與行動（橘色）： There is a heightened level of threat. Conditions are changing and you need to start taking action now to protect you and your family.
緊急警告（紅色）： 緊急警報為最高級別的警報。您可能身處危險之中，需要立即採取行動。任何延誤都可能危及您的生命。.
社群更新（藍色）： 針對特定事件或事故，向受影響社群提供的具體資訊和最新消息。.
