Bushfire to affect residents and holidaymakers long after the flames die out

ABC  

Residents and holidaymakers by their thousands have escaped the flames, only to face another trial … what next? Key points: Thousands remain stranded in New South Wales and Victoria Shortages of fuel, food and water have been reported, as well as communication and power outages People face days before roads can be reopened The bushfire crisis engulfing New South Wales and Victoria has filled evacuation zones up and down the coast. "But even people opting for the route further south, the real challenge there is availability of fuel and given the power outages trying to get power restored to petrol stations and fuel is a challenge." "The power's out in town, but we decided to open the store just for necessities, so people can get nappies, baby food, all that sort of stuff." "We may be able to get supplies in by road, but that's something we're working on," Mr McKenzie said.
