Household emergency preparedness
Check what your household needs to know before the next emergency hits.

This page from Climate Adaptation Te Tai Tokerau explains Community Response Plans, prepared so a neighbourhood can cope on its own for up to three days before outside help arrives.
It shows how to check whether your community already has a plan through Northland Regional Council, and who to contact if it does not, so hazards, risks and evacuation routes get worked out before an emergency, not during one.
