Bush, Plains, Forest Fire Alert Flag

Forest Fire Alert Flag

This flag is a warning flag that wild fires are ongoing. Wild fires can be on the plains, woods, forests, or anywhere in the bush.

The colours of this flag are red, yellow, black and white. The flag has a red frame and checker pattern of two black squares, one white square and one yellow square.

Drought or Water Shortage Flag

Drought or Water Shortage Flag

This flag symbolizes that the community is under drought conditions. It is composed of two colours yellow and white. It is a yellow square on with white frame.

Flood Warning Flag or Flash Flood Flag

Flash Flood Warning Flag

The Flash Flood Flag consists of two colours blue and black. The background is blue and there are two black square frames in the middle.
The colour blue represents water while the black frames rotated act as indicators that the water levels are rising.

Tornado Warning Flag

The Tornado Warning Flag

 The 'Tornado Warning' flag uses the same colours as the hurricane flag. The background is black and there are two red circles, reflective of the circular motion of a tornado.


Since Hurricanes have their own flag it makes perfect sense that tornadoes get one as well.
