- Frequently Asked Questions -
Is this account monitored 24/7?
Not on a regular basis. The account may be monitored for longer periods during major emergencies.
Why can’t we answer every question?
We will try our best to answer as many of your questions as possible but this will not always be possible, especially during busy times. During major emergencies our focus will be on providing critical emergency information.
Can I share information from this page?
Yes. As long as you attribute the source.
Where is my comment?
During major emergencies we may change the page’s default wall setting from showing posts from everyone to only show posts from CFA. This allows people to immediately see the latest incident information posted by CFA.
Why has my comment been deleted?
CFA has outlined its Moderation Policy below for using this page. If users post comments found to be breaching these conditions we may delete their comment.
Why do people ‘like’ status updates about sad topics?
When page users ‘like’ status updates about tragic events, it doesn’t necessarily mean they approve of them happening, ‘Liking’ an update is a way of showing support and appreciation of the information shared in the update.
