Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) is committed to its role of monitoring and reporting of air quality data to the Victorian community.
EPA does this in several ways:
- a daily forecasting service posted on the front page of its website
- its Twitter account: @EPA_Victoria, where all forecasts have the hash tag: #airqualityforecast
- a colour-coded table on its website, updated hourly, showing data collected from its monitoring stations.
People unable to access EPA’s website are encouraged to call EPA’s call centre 24/7 on 1300 372 842, which can provide the latest EPA data on air quality.
There are also agreed
air quality triggers which, if met, activates EPA to provide information to the Department of Health and Human Services and other relevant agencies.
