in America but here in Australia we have a set of mobile apps that you can download. But in an emergency if you don't have those mobile apps downloaded, it will be like a big circle around the affected area and they'll make it say like 50k radius of the affected area. And then what they'll do is they'll choose to use cell towers in the area and then they'll say if it's a device, what's an app or emergency level. And so those just basically mean like if you need to keep a watch of it, if you need to evacuate, if you need to prepare for something bad to happen. And basically with those things they send it out on the phone. The app is run by the Empire Department here and what the app does is it basically sends it out. So say you've got a watch zone set for your area, like I have one set for my local area, when you pass this start it's got an emergency warning in there, it will come out to my phone and it's like it's an ex-emergency. It will be like an app notification, so everything will break. And if you don't have the app downloaded and it's like an emergency level warning, it will either come over the radio, like the AM-FM radio or the camera will try to keep it fixed as well and it will go to just anyone in about 100k. I think it's like an AM-FM radio where they've set it will be automatically adjusted. And like in Australia if you dial simple zero say and you don't have any phone service, it may go through, depending on what your cell provider does. But if that doesn't work, they say try the international emergency number 112, which then broadcasts, just goes to any service provider in your range and tries to get you through with that. Over. Yeah, VA3VWX returning. Okay, I understand what you're saying now. You're saying that there's an app. I don't know anything about the cellular system in Australia. Do you use the wireless emergency alert system? So here in North America, it also exists in Europe as far as my experience. It's basically built into the cell network itself and they call it the WEAS or WEAS. And it's basically a broadcast message that's embedded within the cell signal itself. So you don't need an app or anything. It works wherever you are. Do you have that in Australia or is there reliance on an app within the network so you're using some sort of data that's outside of that system? That's my question for you. Go ahead.
