Certainly, in terms of fire-storms, and in the longer-term perspective.

Right now and by next summer, one guesses that very many Aussies would
like Tom's idea of home-emergency CB-radios for all essential services.

Your own in-home police/fire/ambulance/anti-terror/power/phone/medical
communications device, for a once-off hundred dollars? You'd want one?

Am guessing every Aussie elderly person, and every family person would.

And maybe, once in a while, it would be used for bush fire information.


Cheers,
