Reading Flood relief. A brief handbook for a future government commi ed to competence.

Use fes val crew to build a tent city, with everything a major fes val contains: temporary showers, toilets, food vans (government pays for food), field hospital, comms, power, water trucks, marquee gathering places, fences, security. Easy for us events people to arrange. Next, enact emergency powers to requisi on all the stuff above. Then, put the military and the state emergency and the police into a conference room, and have someone sensible like Michael Chugg chair the mee ng. Their job is to get to people using the boats and helicopters we taxpayers own, and transport them to the relief (fes val) site, handing them over to the events crew. We look a er 50,000+ people at events like Bluesfest. We could stage several relief sites at one me, and have base facili es around the country ready for disasters. Our air force has plenty of heavy li capability si ng on the ground at Richmond, our army has a lot of stuff we could use. All you need is us. Under employed, almost broke, events people.
