Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1140229 Australia 10/25/2010 05:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im not really worried at all. I am just curious about it, and others thoughts on it. Of course it has its practical uses, and not everything is a conspiracy. I just wonder what potential uses it has, and in what way they would use it. What sort of event has to happen, then what will they tell us, where will they tell us to go? etc.. Dont worry, im not stressing or anything. lol. |

It was created in response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires. I assumed that was its sole purpose. But I guess not. I guess it could be used for anything really. |

Quoting: pharaohchromiumi like that idea! hopefully thats the way it goes.. i really hope things work in the general populace's favour.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1140002 Australia 10/25/2010 06:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw a report how the states alert level had been raised but cant find the report now. Found this ... [link to www.northernargus.com.au] The State Government has issued a community safety alert after an earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale shook the Clare Valley on Friday night at about 9.30pm. Since 1840, more than 100 earthquakes above 4.0 magnitude have been recorded in South Australia. The State Government is reminding South Australians to always have an emergency kit, containing a battery-powered radio, torch and spare batteries. In the event of a major earthquake they recommend people stay indoors, seek shelter under a doorframe, solid table or bench and not use elevators or lifts.

At least once a week they break in on TV testing the early warning system. We also have huge roadside signs rented by the State to advise about preparedness and emergency numbers. |
