Earthquake Action Guide by EMA Australia
In an emergency, which is life threatening or there is imminent risk to either property or the environment, dial "000" (triple zero) for Fire, Police or Ambulance at any time, day or night for 24-hour service.
There are other ACT Government 24-hour emergency contact numbers.
Do not use the telephone during a widespread emergency unless absolutely necessary to avoid overloading the system.
