[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400267, member: 1991"] They just made a good point on the news (I'm watching the TV now, the footage is horrendous) - the emergency services people in the area pitching in, are all volunteers and all people who live in the community. So they will know, because these are country towns where everybody knows everybody, exactly who is missing, who is likely to be in strife, and what sort of help they will need. There are some professionals in there, of course, but every town and every service has a huge army of trained volunteers who step up at such times and help out, often while their own homes are in danger. If you can help, you don't feel so useless. At times like this, I'm proud to be an Aussie. Marg [/QUOTE]
