http://www.abc.net.au/emergency/flood/ has some links for people interested in helping - especially Volunteering Qld, which is where we are sending people who ring us.

When we're out in the field the provided lunch usually consists of 2 packets of sandwiches per person + a piece of fresh fruit & a drink. Yesterday it was 1 pack & no fruit because there is none lol.
On another note we were all provided with "hand sanitizer" as the risk of disease is a big worry. Everyone had to use it before they ate they even had a bloke monitoring us using it before they handed us our butties lol.
Sunscreen was also provided as between showers the sun was hot as hell.

Quite true Matt, we had someone make sandwiches yesterday for 40 hungry Rural Fire Brigade volunteers. Word came down that they copped a load of abuse for leaving Woolies with 6 loaves.

It's very easy to jump to conclusions and assume the worst of people, even the bogans can be community minded. If your V24 Commodore gets stuck just stick the hazards on and watch 'em flock to your aid
