Beth, I can assure you the $*$*$8 arsonist now in police custody will not make any friends in jail. I'm sure the Coffin Cheaters & other gangs will make his life miserable.

homes
Sundial, there are people offering the bushfire displaced space at their homes. Also, there is a tent like city set up in one of the towns which was set up (i think) by reservists & now being helped out by the military.
The Red Cross is doing a great job!!! http://www.redcross.org.au/vic/servi...ppeal-2009.htm
The total $$ raised keeps growing..

That wouldn't be very difficult to do. For emergency response - the National Guard and Regular Army did a bang up job and deserve lots of praise. National Guard Police are still here.

It will take a lot personal drive to rebuild an entire community, and the stories that come out of that will be amazing.Beth
