Thousands of people have been displaced across Tasmania, in Australia as a result of a number of devastating bushfires. More than 250 homes and buildings have been destroyed, including a school, and dozens of people are still unaccounted for. Australian Red Cross volunteers are on the ground across Tasmania providing support and registration services to help reconnect families separated by the disaster. Red Cross is also working closely with emergency service authorities to determine what other support is needed at this time and will assist with any ongoing response and recovery efforts needed.
