Civil Defence
It's lovely living in this peaceable corner of the world - I consider myself greatly blessed. Hardly anything untoward happens here. Local volcanic eruption? Not likely. Tsunami? Highly improbable. Big threatening fire? Maybe. Earthquake. Mmm, now that's a possibility, and one that could seriously impact upon all of our lives.
My point?
Well, I believe we do have a local Civil Defence Officer, have even heard his name mentioned. But I have NEVER seen any local literature dealing with what to expect in terms of emergency response to a local calamity or what we should do under such circumstances. Is there anything I can do to help in a co-ordinated way?.
I am definitely not laying any blame at the door of the worthy gentleman who holds that office. I mean, nothing disastrous has happened that might make us call into question the efficacy of our CD system.
Yet.
Do you think those appointed to the CD welfare of our district need to be more pro-active?? A couple of newspaper notices, an occasional item on the radio, or here. The occasional exercise.
You tell me.

Have a read of the article about the Hawke's Bay 1931 earthquake. You can find it on the homepage of the Council website: http://www.chbdc.govt.nz .

The best information about Civil Defence is provided by Central Government. The places to look are on the inside covers of your phonebook and on the Civil Defence website, http://www.civildefence.govt.nz . Also try this site:http://www.getthru.govt.nz/ and this one for schools and children http://www.whatstheplanstan.govt.nz/mcdem/index.html
Civil Defence in CHB do hold exercises. These exercises involve the entire CD network in CHB, the local police, fire and ambulance services, the staff of Central Hawke's Bay District Council and more.
Cheers for your comments. Oh, when was the last co-ordinated CD exercise ??
Very subtle trevorulyatt. Perhaps the need is for our gentlemen and gentlewomen of the press to report the results of these CD exercises, warts and all.
Yeah, cheers denthepen - I thought it was pretty subtle, too!
You'd have to take that up with the relevant people within Council.
Cheers. Are their names and contact info readily findable on the Council site??
Yes, the information is easily findable. There is a top level menu item labelled "Civil Defence". The page includes the Emergency Management Officer's name and contact details.
Fantastic! So, when an unforseen circumstance arrives upon us - I'll go and have a look at the Council website. I feel much more at ease now. [tongue in cheek]
Yes, visiting the Council website during adverse events is a good thing to do. During the recent heavy rains which caused flooding and road closures throughout the district, the homepage of the Council website was updated approximately every half hour with news of closures, advice for travellers, areas that were flooded etc.
Mmmm. It's good to know that the safety of the public at large is in such capable hands.
