Ash Feb 09 : DSE and CFA - Can they work better together?

With 2 agencies fighting over the same territory, how can one of them be totally responsible ? Who should do you believe and what warnings are appropriate in the different territories .Is really good advice being lost in attempt to create consensus . Is consensus risking diversity and responsibility? The CFA favor the plan ( because most farms can reduce fuel loads ) while DSE used to favor evacuation ( because noone can manage fuel loads near forest)

Surely the washed out warnings in the ads are an example of what happens when noone is really in charge - or worse the childrenincharge ?
If the government won't talk about this glaring disunity and pretence of monoculture, the people will.

Give the agencies the right to advise locally and specifically . Why is 774 and the ABC now "the only Emergency station". Local community FM stations should be advertised and supported to do it as well. After all , stations like OtwayFM ( very high fire zone) provided uninterupted updates on local fires long before the ABC took the badge and tried to do it all . Diversity and dedication in the right place at the right time. What do you think?
