Mundubbera Warning Siren
The siren will be tested at noon on Friday, March 1, 2024. No action is required. When the siren sounds, it is a good opportunity to explain to children and new residents that the siren is a test only on this day. If this siren sounds on other occasions, residents should seek further information by going to the Emergency Management Dashboard, visiting Council’s Facebook page and listening to ABC Radio. Save the dashboard to your favourites: https://emergency.northburnett.qld.gov.au/
