In these changing times, most of us realise that local resilience is increasingly important in times of disaster.
ANCAD is proud to be working with the Devonport Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Emergency Management and local people to plan how our local areas can be more resilient.
The focus is on four major areas:
Reduction of risks from hazards;
Readiness, awareness, preparedness and understanding;
Response to manage disasters; and
Recovery from disasters
What are the risks in your area? How can you and your local community be better prepared for disasters? And how might you manage and recover from disaster?
Save the date to join us, hear more and begin planning to improve local resilience for your community.
Please RSVP for catering purposes to info@ancad.org.nz 094864820

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
