Support your neighbours during an emergency!
Last week was certainly busy on the emergency management front, and I hope you were able to get the information you needed about the weather and its potential impact.
Although we missed the worst of the weather, some parts of our region have been affected, so I hope everyone has dried out now. In an emergency, we need to support our neighbours, and the Marlborough Emergency Response Team (all volunteers) have just spent a couple of days supporting the Nelson and Tasman regions. Here’s some of the team kitted out and ready to go, just before they left on Wednesday afternoon.
Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:
