In the face of emergencies or natural disasters, the strength and preparedness of a community can make all the difference.
When families, businesses, and communities prepare for emergencies together, it makes our community stronger. When families understand and practice emergency procedures, they are better prepared to handle crises.
To address these challenges, we’ve partnered with businesses, community groups and agencies like Civil Defence, Fire and Emergency NZ, St John and the Wakefield Community Council to hold a Rural Resilience Expo at Higgins Heritage Park in Wakefield on Sunday 21 April from 10.00 am – 4.00 pm.
The expo is designed to activate and support safety and resilience at both family and community levels. It will cover day-to-day safety, emergency preparedness, and long-term resilience against climate change and natural disasters.
The event is free, with optional koha/donation to the Wakefield Community Council.
Throughout the day there will be demonstrations, exercises, and resources available for individuals and businesses to enhance community resilience.
Attendees can expect valuable information, planning tools, and even the chance to win prizes. The event aims to foster collaboration and provide practical solutions for building safer and more resilient communities.
This event will have something for everyone. Bring your whānau for a fun day of games, activities and interesting speakers.
