If you warn everybody about everything all the time you warn nobody in real risk. 774 should not be advertising itself as the fount of all knowledge . The lack of prior advertising of specific warnings for local areas and stations dedicated to constant fire updates ( such as Otway FM) did not help.
The messages should have been much clearer and more specific . Previous blog item says it as well. If you live near the bush on the northern slopes you shouldn't stay there on certain days. This advice would have been given by forest fire managers in the past . As most CFA is active in open country, the opportunity to defend assets is more of an option in their traditional territory -open rural country .
Why did 774 try to do everything when community stations could have been supported to do what they started and do best - run dedicated warning services.
What do you think ?
