TAS Emergency Data: Sources and Coverage

Overview

Tasmania publishes emergency data through TasALERT and the Tasmania Fire Service (TFS). Three feeds are available: TasALERT incidents (RSS), TFS fire data (KML), and TasALERT warnings (CAP-AU).

Agencies: TASALERT-RSS (incidents), TFS (fire data), TASALERT (CAP-AU warnings)

Integration Notes

Event type extraction: The TasALERT RSS feed embeds the event type inside the description field as plain text (e.g. "TYPE: Structure Fire"). It is not in a dedicated field. You need regex extraction to get it.

Geometry: TasALERT provides GeoRSS point elements. TFS provides KML with coordinate data. Both require conversion to GeoJSON.

Auth: All feeds are public with no authentication.
