German term or phrase: Gefahrentelefon
Bei der Berufsfeuerwehr Augsburg ist für den Fall, dass die Bevölkerung über drohende Gefahren informiert werden soll, ein ***Gefahrentelefon*** eingerichtet.
Dort sind z. B. bei drohenden Unwettern und anderen Gefahren genaue Hinweise zu erhalten.

Wenn Sie Warnungen nur unvollständig verstanden haben, können Sie das Gefahrentelefon nutzen. Hier werden die Hinweise ebenfalls angesagt.

Nutzen Sie diesen Weg, denn durch Nachfragen bei der Feuerwehr werden die wichtigen Notrufleitungen blockiert.

Emergency Notices Hotline


Explanation:
Ich würde ein "Notices" einfügen, da es sich um eine reine Ansage handelt. "Catastrophe" habe ich verworfen, weil es nicht nur Naturkatastrophen sein werden, die dort angesagt werden. Kurz ggf. auch "Emergency Hotline"
