I'm at my parents' place, 1hr south of Sydney, Australia.

Bushfires have hit coastal communities (swollen with holiday tourists) a few hrs south of us - thousands of people trapped on beaches or on boats by fires, in areas where all the roads are now blocked off.
People have been directed to leave where possible, but there are several issues. Firstly, driving is hard:

- There is no power, limiting gas stations' ability to offer fuel
- Gas stations are running out of fuel
- Even roads that are open have terrible visibility bc smoke
Second, supplies are running low:

- Drinking water is getting contaminated with ash
- People evacuated to the beach or ocean quickly, with limited food and water supplies
- Supermarkets have no power, and can't get supplies because of blocked roads, so their inventory is limited
