About the event
In a major emergency, such as an earthquake, emergency services may not be able to reach everyone immediately. This means individuals and households may need to be self-reliant for up to two weeks. During this time, neighbours, family, friends, and local communities play a vital role in supporting one another.
Rexine Hawes, Senior Community Resilience and Recovery Advisor with Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management, will share practical preparedness tips to help you get ready before an emergency happens.
Learn how small steps taken today can increase your resilience, confidence, and ability to cope during and after a disaster.
