Me Whakarite Tahi Koutou ko tō Hapori Plan with Your Community
No one knows your community better than you and your neighbours. It’s important for everyone to come together, understand local emergency plans, and know how to respond in an emergency. Working as a team helps keep everyone safe and connected.
Your community’s first responders
In an emergency, your neighbours and local groups are often the first to help. Sports clubs, faith groups, and organisations like Neighbourhood Support play an important role in caring for each other. Emergency services will be busy throughout Auckland, so communities that prepare together are better able to support themselves.
Local Board emergency readiness and response plans
Each local board in Auckland has an Emergency Readiness and Response Plan. These plans show how your community can respond and support each other during an emergency.
Get to know your local plan and understand how it fits into your community’s response. Knowing this will help everyone work together more smoothly when it matters most.
