Now do you really think that the CEO of the SES would be acting on their own?
After the last 48 hours wouldn't you think that parts of the Emergency management plan would start to be enacted?
And the Commissioner of police may have had something to do with it? (afterall the are in charge of the plan) for those who don't know the use of the SEWS is serious business & not just done for a joke!
Instead of making comments do your self a favour enrol in the emergency management & disaster management course, and then you will be enlightened
And before you ask I've done mine very enlightening also watch the ABC news it's filtered serious!
