Buller District Civil Defence / Emergency Management
If a disaster happened now, would you be ready? Due to its location and environment, New Zealand faces many potential disasters. In some cases, such as a weather related or volcanic disaster, there may be time for a warning. But an earthquake or a tsunami close to land could strike without warning. All disasters have the potential to cause disruption, damage to property and take lives. So it's vital that you prepare now. Visit the Get Ready - Get Thru website through the link below to find out what to do to keep you and your family safe in the event of a disaster.
