Everyone in East Gippsland must leave the area today due to the fire danger forecast for tomorrow. Do not travel to this area. It is not possible to provide support and aid to all the visitors currently in the East Gippsland region. Full info here: https://go.vic.gov.au/JYsnt6 pic.twitter.com/XJBwFdGVej
Thankyou. Tweet updates are excellent, and map very helpful. Please note that the scale bar in bottom LHS of your map appears incorrect. Bairnsdale to Lakes Entrance is about 40-45km, not 750-800km. May be confusing for some? Good luck and stay safe (and thankyou, again)pic.twitter.com/XHAg3GFJYG
Thanks Simon. We're going to get that fixed for future updates. :) ^MA
Hi Harry, if you live in the potential impact area you should leave today to friends and family who live outside of the area. ^TW
Has Bairnsdale been asked to evacuate? I see that it is just out of this zone.
Hi there, although Bairnsdale is outside the potential fire impact area, there is a still a risk of new fires starting, as well as other issues such as smoke or road closures. Please stay informed and monitor conditions on the VicEmergency app or http://www.emergency.vic.gov.au . ^TW
Hi David, it's recommended that everyone in the potential fire impact area (as indicated in the above map) leaves to friends and family who live outside of the area. ^TW
Hi Ryan, Metung could potentially be impacted by fires. ^TW
