If I were aware of this, I would have sent off some emails to try and
asked companies to help too, because even though Australia is mostly
mapped commercially, maps go out of date and most if not all
commercial maps have lots of mistakes. In the case of a bush fire we'd
need imagery just before the event since smoke would be blanketing any
coverage of the ground.
