[AusNOG] Fwd: IAA Disaster Coordination - support for members and community affected by the fires

[Narelle Clark]

Hi Damien, Kai
these are all good thoughts, and good to know https://wicen.org.au/
exists - we may need to liaise with them!

Does anyone have any good graphs/diagrams/representations of the
overall impact of the outages?

Items I thought people will find useful in the coming days/weeks would
be small office switches, up to date computer gear, phone batteries,
chargers - in good condition of course, and distribution will be
something to work through with the main aid agencies.

Has anyone heard from Ross in Albury?

 Stay safe, people

Narelle
