The Western Australian emergency of March 1942 was a series of local responses that occurred in relation to activity in northern Western Australia that gave Australian military forces serious concerns about the capacity of the Japanese to move down the Western Australian coast. The air raids on Broome and other locations in March 1942 caused the Allies to reinforce the military forces located in Western Australia to defend the state. The action was taken to defend against the possibility that a force of Japanese warships and planes would attempt to attack the cities of Fremantle and Perth.

  • La Emergencia en Australia occidental de marzo de 1942 , fue una serie de eventos que ocurrieron en el norte de Australia Occidental que le dieron a las fuerzas militares australianas serias preocupaciones sobre la capacidad de los japoneses de moverse por la costa de Australia Occidental. Los ataques aéreos contra y otros lugares en marzo de 1942 causaron que los Aliados para reforzar a las fuerzas militares, situado en el Oeste de Australia para defender el estado.​​​​ La acción fue tomada para defenderse contra la posibilidad de que una fuerza de buques de guerra y aviones japoneses intentara atacar las ciudades de Fremantle y Perth.​ La velocidad y el alcance de la expansión japonesa hasta este momento se consideró una gran amenaza para la región.​​ La propaganda japonesa se produjo en ese momento para difundir la idea de la invasión o bombardeo de las ciudades del sur de Australia.​ Las autoridades intentaron disipar los temores un mes antes de los atentados de Darwin.​ Los acontecimientos que rodearon los bombardeos y la respuesta de las autoridades en el norte de Australia fueron referidos como tácticas de "susto japonés".​​ El trabajo realizado en Fremantle y Perth para prepararse para una invasión o ataque inminente fue el más extenso en la historia de Australia Occidental. El establecimiento de la base submarina de Fremantle fue parte de las acciones defensivas. La posterior emergencia en Australia Occidental de marzo de 1944 fue en efecto una repetición de la emergencia de 1942, pero menos dañina en comparación con los bombardeos sobre Broome y otros lugares durante la emergencia de 1942.

  • The Western Australian emergency of March 1942 was a series of local responses that occurred in relation to activity in northern Western Australia that gave Australian military forces serious concerns about the capacity of the Japanese to move down the Western Australian coast. The air raids on Broome and other locations in March 1942 caused the Allies to reinforce the military forces located in Western Australia to defend the state. The action was taken to defend against the possibility that a force of Japanese warships and planes would attempt to attack the cities of Fremantle and Perth. The speed and extent of Japanese expansion to this time was considered a major threat to the region. Extensive preparations and actions throughout the state of Western Australia were conducted to avert attacks and to prepare the population against possible invasion. Japanese propaganda was produced at the time to spread the idea of invasion or bombing of southern Australian cities. Authorities were attempting to allay fears a month before the Darwin bombings. The events surrounding the bombings and response by authorities in northern Australia were referred to as "Japanese Scare" tactics. The work undertaken in Fremantle and Perth to prepare for an imminent invasion or attack was the most extensive in the history of Western Australia. The establishment of the Fremantle submarine base was a part of the defensive actions, and it remained active until the end of the war. The subsequent Western Australian emergency of March 1944 was in effect a repeat of the 1942 emergency. (en)
