“We’re pleased to present the new Howick Local Board Emergency Readiness and Response Plan. Getting this ready has been a priority for us to ensure that we’re all ready for emergencies. We know from recent experiences that we need to build community resilience, and this plan provides the platform to help achieve this.”
Thank you to Auckland Emergency Management for their mahi on developing and delivering this plan for us.
“Having a plan helps make any emergency much less stressful for everyone. The best time to be prepared is before you need it, so please get your household or business plan in place now. It’s also a great way to connect with your neighbours, friends, and communities to share and discuss your plan. If an emergency happens, it’s vital that we look after each other.
“We know from experience that in times of need our communities of Howick, Pakūranga, Botany, Flat Bush and East Tāmaki, come together to help each other. We’re grateful for the amazing individuals and organisations who have stepped up in the past and have volunteered to be involved again.”
