SCERT: South CHCH Alpine Fault 8 Expo Event
Our SCERT (Somerfield Community Emergency Response Team) would love to welcome anyone to join us at our (FREE) South CHCH AF8 Expo Event on Thursday 28th March at the Somerfield School Hall (from 7-9pm).
Although our original planning was focused on encouraging preparedness for the likelihood of the Alpine Fault rupturing in the future - our other aim is to also enable a good opportunity for our residents & community groups to connect further & greater awareness of where to look for more support.
We have a local resident & an excellent Guest Speaker: Tyler Barton who has kindly offered to share his fabulous knowledge & awareness about this topic & how we may be better prepared for it- we also intend for this to help connections between our residents & local community groups!!
Our SCERT certainly does not intend for this event to not add any extra stress or concerns for our residents after the traumatic events unfolding from Friday 15th March - hopefully this event may actually reassure our community and residents by enabling better conversations & awareness of the supporting community groups / individuals instead.
Thanks to Somerfield School Principal: Ms Denise Torrey for offering to address our community on this evening and enabling our residents to utilise the Somerfield School Hall for this event while St Marks Church /Hall is being renovated currently.
Hopefully we may see many of you at Somerfield School on Thursday as we have many individuals & community groups gathered for you to meet with and learn who you may connect to - if ever needed!
Any community groups attending with displays, leaflets etc will be invited to introduce themselves very briefly in the 15minute break between Tyler's 2 main presentations.
Would you or your community group like to be better known or represented to our local residents?
We will have representatives from Civil Defence, Neighbourhood Support, Red Cross, local Resident Associations, Community Patrol, SCERT & many others...
Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available on the evening.
Free NZ Blood Pens, SCERT Packages & other assorted useful leaflets will also be available on the evening!!
We look forward to seeing many of you this Thursday!!
Warm Regards Julie Tobbell.
