Bushfire Action Week

In reply to the Hon. K.L. VINCENT (1 November 2016).

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I am advised:

The South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) has a large range of community bushfire preparedness information which includes a Bushfire Survival Plan. The information provided by the CFS is available in a number of accessible formats, including audio files, large print, Easy English and in languages other than English, and all video content produced by the CFS is captioned.

The Alert SA website and mobile app have been developed by the South Australian government to ensure services and information are readily available to as broad an audience as possible. Alert SA is committed to making these services available to everyone who needs to use them, irrespective of their age, nationality or accessibility requirements.

Whilst we aim to make all content accessible, there may be some exceptions (for example mapping content) which may not be able to be optimised for accessibility.

A text only version of the Alert SA website is also available (text.alert.sa.gov.au) which has been designed to be compatible with a range of screen readers, as well as with a range of older internet browsers.

During development works Alert SA has consulted with the following organisations:

Blind Citizens Australia—Adelaide Branch

Disability SA—Disability Access and Inclusion Plans Steering Committee

Royal Society for the Blind

Alert SA is continually looking to improve the delivery of public safety and warning information and as always feedback is welcomed.
