Are we ready for an emergency ?

Auckland Council is asking for your input into the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Plan

Our First Responders and Volunteer Fire crew have their own families and homes – it’s unfair to rely on them – in my humble opinion

At the Waitakere Ranges Local Board annual budget meeting on Thursday Keith Suddes, left,  presented a short low down on Auckland’s Civil Defence Plan.

Interesting that Keith assisted with Bethell’s plan, being a local,  and has now accepted a job with Auckland Council to work on theirs/ours.  He certainly has the experience.

I know that Ken Cowan, President of Piha R&R, had taken responsibility for this a few years ago but somehow has dropped the ball.

So:  time for us to have some input and you can do that right here: The draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management plan is now ready for your feedback.
