With the increasing frequency of damaging weather and environmental events, preparedness is the key to coping in an emergency.
To raise awareness, the Mohua Emergency Preparedness Expo is being held at the Golden Bay Rec Park Centre on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 May.
There won’t always be time for an official warning, so it’s important to recognise the natural warning signs and act quickly. Trust your sense of danger, don’t wait for an official alert.
When an emergency happens, civil defence and emergency services will be busy helping the people who need them most.
This event brings together emergency planning stakeholders and community leaders in a fun, family-friendly day.
Get prepared for earthquakes, flooding, and wildfires. Learn what you need to know when Golden Bay gets cut off – for your household, your animals, and your community.
Between 9.00 am and 2.00 pm on Saturday, Rapid Response will be giving out free sandbags to prepare for any future flooding, and you’ll also be able to pick up a sausage from the barbie raising funds for the rescue helicopter.
Then on Sunday between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm, the Emergency Preparedness Expo will be rolled out, with interactive displays for all ages, guest speakers, market stalls, entertainment, food trucks, and emergency vehicles.
The expo is brought to you by FENZ, Civil Defence Emergency Management, Hato Hone St John, Mohua 2042 and Tasman District Council.
