This weekend is going to be tough for a lot of people, both for those in the line of fire and those of us waiting to hear from loved ones. We can't all be there to help on the ground, but that doesn't mean you can't help.
I've updated and organised the list I started yesterday, hopefully this covers a range of ways you can help this weekend. If there is anything anyone wants me to add, let me know.
DONATE ITEMS
Donating Household Items & Food
Please be aware, charities like the Red Cross DO NOT have the capacity to be taking items/food you would like to donate.
Unfortunately there are no resources to distibute items directly into the crisis areas. For post-disaster item donations, Givit! helps facilitate the donation of many usable items you have that might be useful to families who need it.
If you are able to safely travel to and from any evacuation centres in your area (NSW / VIC / SA) here is a list of centers you can contact if you have clean, quality bedding or other essentials to bring to the center.

You're a fuckwit, mate. We're in rural Vic, and that lit butt went straight into the scrub thanks to the wind.
Reported him to the EPA. Hopefully there'll be some success.
