On the move due to fires? - News/Entertainment Network Streaming Sites

If you are on the move because of the fires or otherwise, here are the news sites and tv/movie streaming sites.

Some of these require a username/password but any email will work.

There may be others that I am unfamiliar with.

This is NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) map, showing global hotspots detected by three satellites. Provides a bit more information about where the fire-fronts actually are.

Minutes before impact, Tomboye, NSW. Post fire photos when it's safe to assess.

Somebody made a really important comment recently about changes to insurance that could increase rebuild costs for a house destroyed by bushfires. Can anyone remember where it was/help me find it?

Comment was fairly recently, 1-2 days ago or so at most, I think.

Essentially it was about new regulations that would require a rebuilt structure to have increased resistance to bushfires, thereby increasing the costs of the rebuild. These increased costs might not be covered by some insurance policies.

I tried for a while to find it again but can't. Could y'all help? I was going to share to some folks who might want to know.

Also I suppose it wouldn't hurt for it to have more visibility~

A good example of the magnitude of these fires. The first fire I had shown is an emergency evacuation fire for my suburb at 120 Hectares size as of writing this.. this is nothing in comparison to the others...

What are the best Aussie songs of the last decade?

I’m spending my first new year’s down under after moving my family here and would like to know what you think the best songs of the last decade are. The only rules are they have to be released between 2010 and now and they have to be by an Australian artist or band.

Thanks and happy new year!

I'm volunteering at the Bairnsdale evacuation centre tomorrow, if you're there and need something let me know.

I'll have limited space in my car because I'm already taking up supplies there but if you want something small, leave a comment and I'll get it for you. Will be there till Sunday so if you're evacuating later this week I'll keep something for ya.

Quick shout out to the sign-language guy at NSW RFS HQ. He’s been doing his bit all day.

It’s not raining at all. It’s just that all the smoke is confusing the weather radar.
