Community Response Plans
The purpose of a Civil Defence Community Response Plan is to identify hazards that may impact our communities and to provide a plan whereby the community within is able to respond and remain self reliant for at least three days without any outside assistance if an emergency occurs.
When an emergency occurs, these Plans will be activated by the community in response to the event. Other agencies will respond to the event by activating their own plans and coordinating their activities with other agencies to manage the impact on the community.
These Plans have been prepared with the aim of providing an effective, planned civil defence emergency response that links the community and the civil defence organisations in Rangitīkei.
In preparation of surviving a civil defence emergency the community should undertake to be personally prepared with survival kits of water, food, lighting, heating, radios, spare batteries and medical supplies (see back page of the phone book for more detail on survival information or visit www.getthru.govt.nz).
