Praise where praise is due  Pleased to hear some sound reflections on 774 re fire talk .
As the lack of posts indicate,  I don't listen much anymore . 

Risk management reporting is always difficult  and with all the changes imposed by meddling polys a lot of emergency services wisdom has gone out the window
 But I was pleased to hear some sound reflections on 774 re fire talk .


 We need to really support those trying to broadcast well in risky situations.
Whoever does it can't get it perfectly right - risk management and fire esp , is like that so whether its CFA MFB OCRFM or ABC --- be kind as well as cutting. 
It's also a specailized skill not practiced all that often: with too many smart arse's( changing CEO's & polys ) changing what is essentially' basic. Polys have changed emergency services too much - change 4 blame/empire building 's sake? . 
The messages sometimes have to be repeated either to sink in ( "get out NOW , we are not coming to rescue you ") OR because they are so particularly relevant to a site ( fire is at ,, moving south - wind change is expected at _pm ) 
Been some good improvements by the media in terms of being clear -" evacuate early"

Will be a great day when polys and medai sing the same tune about how to make this a really clever country - when we listen to each other and give young people and on siters a  proper go on the radio
