Hi everyone!
An update from Canberra.
It’s still business as normal - even with some trying conditions.
Currently surrounded by several fires here in ACT with thick smoke now covering all of Canberra. All smoke masks have sold out, and with the potential for mass evacuations here on Saturday we are getting prepared for what’s to come. Australia Post has just cancelled all services into Canberra.
About 300 homes have gone just over an hour and a half from us on the coast. The coast is Canberra’s beach, and a lot of us have clients, friends and family that way.
Catastrophic fire conditions are forecast for Saturday- so the following message has been sent to my staff..........
IMPORTANT
Due to the Catastrophic fire conditions forecast here in Canberra on Saturday we are heading to stock up on supplies. I suggest everyone at the bare minimum has drinking water, and food for 7 days. We need to soldier on, and it’s business as usual but we also need to be prepared. Owners suite will be used to stock supplies for working staff should the call to evacuate come whilst you’re on shift. This post isn’t to scare you, but to make you aware of the possibility of what could occur. We need to be able to fend for ourselves as there is a very real chance that Emergency services will be spread thin. Aus Post has stopped services and it won’t be long before other places do to...... We will look after each other like we always do.
