Those private volunteers deserve a big hand for pitching in to keep the supplies flowing too.
Well done to them, 2 days ago I started phoning SES & EMQ to see how I could volunteer a 400-500kg payload aeroplane that could get into smaller towns that were suffering from no drinking water and likely medical supplies shortages. Obviously larger places would get Dash8 and the like.
They did not know how to handle the offer of help? System is lacking in that way it seems. So I sit here fat dumb and happy in Brisbane willing to help but nowhere to start?
So I eventually phoned the Mayor of one region and she advised they just got their water treatment going again but just....and roads were starting to clear so the problem was off there.....but as things change by the hour you need a co-ordinated approach not a bunch of well meaning folk wandering aimlessly.
Anyway a big pat on the back to those doing a great job to help folk affected by the floods.
