Become a Disaster Welfare and Support Volunteer
Our disaster response teams respond to emergencies in our local community and across New Zealand. They are trained in a variety of skills, from first aid to ground-based rescue.
They’re the friendly faces looking after you, your family and your community – and you’ll find them on the ground, mucking in and getting on with the job. Our volunteers have a wide variety of professional backgrounds, but when disaster strikes they are ready to go.
Regular training opportunities are provided at no cost and are delivered to industry best practice. Training topics include: First aid, Health and safety, Ground-level rescue, Emergency welfare, Personal preparedness, Stress management, Communicating with distressed people during emergencies, Radio communications, Incident reporting, Casualty handling, Triage, Medical ethics, Flood awareness.
We are always looking for keen people to get involved.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
