Not quite Robert that is what ABC radio & the weather web site is for!
Just like fire weather warnings, the mail drop message warns crews just as Andrew said. And if there were a big function on in your area (like the local show being setup on the previous day), you could (I'm not saying you would) warn the organisers or be prepared for the "calamity" that may follow!
And Pixie - read what was said no one mentioned response pages, as has been said previously, get used to the mail drops they are part of the overall package. Just this time was a little mistake!
Anyway I think I've said enough on this - in all honestly it's a storm in a teacup!
By the way if you get a chance have a look at the RFS tv ad, it's that good I almost joined up! Then I had a reality check
cheers
