[outages] [Outages-announce] 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.
