Get Prepared
Emergencies can happen anytime, and the best way to get through them is to be prepared. Making a plan with your whānau, having emergency supplies, and knowing what to do can make a big difference.
Here’s how to get started:
- Make a household emergency plan – know where to meet, get in touch, and what to do if you’re separated
- Have emergency supplies – store food, water, and essential items for at least 7 days
- Stay informed – know your local hazards, sign up for emergency alerts, and follow Civil Defence on social media – you can also check out here the best places to find information
- Get to know your neighbours – a strong, connected community is more resilient in emergencies!
