The Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS) is a warning siren used in Australia to alert the public of danger. The siren is played over radio or television during a storm, cyclone (hurricane) or bushfire.
The SEWS was developed by the Bureau of Meteorology (Australia) in the 1970s for tropical cyclone warnings. It was adopted as a national emergency warning signal on 21 May 1995 [1].
