[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 404732, member: 1991"] They're getting people to register if they're sheltering out of their own homes. That is going to make it easier to track people who seem to be missing but who are actually safe. Only those genuinely missing will concentrate resources. husband & I have been through this in 1994 when we evacc'ed out form the fires and had to register that we were away from home, and where we were staying. As I got off the boat there were people there with clipboards making notes. These days it would be an iPad... It looks like the eye will cross the coast later than expected, so hopefully the storm surge will be closer to 2 metres and not 4. People have just been told - get indoors now, stop travelling if you're en route. Batten down. It's about to ramp up. The Weather Bureau are having to use satellite to track it, they're losing weather stations. Marg [/QUOTE]
