Dataset

Emergency incidents and warnings

Every active incident and warning the official feeds publish, normalised into one GeoJSON schema: consistent event types, statuses, warning levels, timestamps and coordinates, with CAP-AU severity, urgency and certainty fields. Nearby incidents are also clustered into events with a boundary polygon, and every record can be exported as CSV or standards-validated CAP-AU.

Coverage
The official state and territory emergency services feeds plus national sources (earthquakes, satellite hotspots). Which agencies are carried, and how fresh each one is, is published per jurisdiction on the States reference page.
Freshness
Polled every few minutes per feed; each response carries the time the source was last read.
Provenance
Official agency feeds, identified per record by source feed id; licences and attribution per source at /api/v1/attribution.
Access
Every plan, including free.
