[Outages-announce] [outages] Australia: Floods take out AAPT datacentre

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

I'm informed that the National Relay Service for the Deaf and Hearing 
impaired has gone to minimal service.

"Due to the emergency flood situation in Brisbane, ordinary relay 
calls through the NRS are not available at present. Until further 
notice the NRS can only relay Emergency 106 calls from TTYs."

This means that Oz-wide, Deaf and Hearing impared are unable to use 
public relay services to voice only devices, such as social services 
and scheduled medical support.
