Waikite Valley Community Response Plan - Rotorua Lakes ...
Community Preparedness
  When a natural disaster hits, this community will need to take care of
  itself for up to three days before help can arrive.

  This Community Response Plan has been developed to ensure there are
  measures in place to help the community look after itself.

  The purposes of a community response plan
  •   Help us to understand the hazards that exist in our community
  •   Let us know what level of risk these hazards pose to our community
  •   Help us to know what we can do to prepare ourselves, and those who
      depend on us, to survive through an emergency
  •   Ensure we know the warning signals to evacuate, and where to evacuate to
  •   Help the community to put their response plan into action without any
      immediate help from emergency services or civil defence.

Alerts and warning signals
Severe weather          The community is usually forewarned of severe weather events through
events                  weather reports issued by the Metservice www.metservice.com (New Zealand’s
                        designated national meteorological service). If there is a severe weather warning
                        in place and you need to drive, you should also consider rescheduling your
                        journey or planning ahead by checking www.nzta.govt.nz for any possible road
                        closures.
Earthquakes             The Waikite Valley is very vulnerable to earthquakes and in the event that we
                        experience a major event, remember to Drop, Cover and Hold. There will be no
                        warning for an earthquake but once you have checked on your safety and that
                        of those around you, you should tune into your local radio station (see Page 12)
                        for more information. Be aware there will be aftershocks.

Other Emergency         Bay of Plenty Civil Defence utilise a number of platforms to alert the public
Incidents               including: Text and email alerting, social media platforms (such as Facebook,
(e.g. rural fire or a   Twitter and our Website), radio, television. You can find out more about the
hazardous spill)        alerting platforms at www.bopcivildefence.govt.nz
                        It is vital that people subscribe to these alerts and know where they can find
                        information during a disaster. Informal warnings may also come from friends,
                        family, colleagues and other members of the public though this information may
                           need to be verified. National Emergency Management Agency utilise EMA
                           emergency mobile alerting to provide warnings to areas affected.
