The blazes on the island are now the country’s worst in terms of casualties for over a century, while authorities have warned that the effort to find and identify the dead is still in its early stages, as crews with cadaver dogs have covered just 3 per cent of the search area.

    Given they were warned this would happen and did nothing to prevent it, and when it did happen they didn’t competently warn anyone, I hope they take seriously the task of gearing up for this happening again.

      Didnt warn anyone? Didnt you hear, they sent out a facebook post. You know along with a duckface selfie showing their dinner at olive garden. Maybe we shouldnt be outsourcing emergency services to twitter and facebook. Imagine your survival being dependent on letting zuck or elon have full access to you phone.

        It seems like where that’s all aiming. As far as the governments are concerned, that’s a feature, not a bug.
