 Travis and I live down here at Lawn with the mobile engagement unit team members we've got Alan Waters and Caleb Dwyer from the MEU team. Alan we've heard a lot about the mobile engagement unit we've heard it being referred to by a number of names everything from the big red bus as it's been or become known down here what can you tell us a little bit about what the actual bus does? The bus is set up to pass information up to that information onto residents and visitors and we have done that very successfully over the last couple of days. Fantastic and I believe that it was used extremely successfully the the many MEUs which are behind the high-vis cars we used quite successfully also most recently Christmas Day when the fires took hold in Wye River is that correct Kayla? Yeah it's great we can get into places that this big bus can't so we get out to residents who may not be able to come to us and I believe too Alan they were also used the MEU team was also used in the evacuation of both Wye River and Lawn can you tell us any more about how well the evacuation went and how well the information went across to those residents? The information about the evacuation went over extremely well it was broadcast at the at the meetings and then when it actually came to happen the police had the area zoned off so they searched the zone of the time got people out the result was very smooth we've had a lot of feedback from residents saying how well it was organized and everybody cooperated extremely well as they have done for the whole of this engagement the public response has been terrific. Fantastic and just finally the on-board equipment that you have here I believe it's we've got connectivity so we can get the latest incident mapping up to show the public to work off so that we know where the fires going etc. How do you think that helps or assists in getting that information across in the timely manner? Oh that's been absolutely useful when when people come in and they get a real idea of what the fires looking like and they can see what sort of danger they are actually in. Excellent and Alan how are the team actually performed down here the entire MEU team? The team has performed very well we've got a couple of new comers on and they have done well we are fairly experienced in it now and we are talking and cooperating with the public better than ever I believe it's been very good. And in terms of numbers Kaila just finishing up how many people over the last or since this fires been here in the MEU teams been down here how many people have we seen through roughly? It's hard to put a number on it because there's just been thousands throughout every day so look I'd be I'd be talking upwards of 5000 yeah. Fantastic so there you go folks that's some excellent work by the MEU team an integral part of CFA's arsenal in delivering that timely information when the public needed the most in times of disaster.
