[OZAPRS] Filtering out bushfires

[Mathew McKernan]

Hi Liz,


I'd tend to agree especially with the example you've given.

Take it from a lens of what is on the RFS website and raise the issue with them that the information is not timely, current or accurate. WXSVR reads that data, rather than confusing the issue with RFS, I would simply inform them that their information published is out of date when in actual fact they have incidents that are "going" but not marked as "under control" etc.


73's,


Matty

thanks for the input, I can't see any way of sorting this out without
social engineering at the input stage.
