Emergency Preparedness Expo on this Sunday and a first for the suburbs
Eight emergency preparedness organisations are coming together in the Khandallah Town Hall this Sunday 22 September from 2 – 5pm in a first of its kind Expo on Emergency Preparedness. This is a free event and everyone is welcome.
Nicola McFaull, President of the Onslow Residents Community Association (ORCA) said bringing together experts from the Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office, Red Cross, Urban Search and Rescue, NZ Police, Wellington Water, Survive-It, Emergency Radio and how to make a composting toilet provides a comprehensive picture of what people will need to know when the big one strikes.
“We have been told that when a large earthquake strikes, or an extreme weather event, the suburbs will have to fend for themselves for many weeks. We want to make sure our community is prepared and resilient so that all our residents can get through a disaster, including the most vulnerable people. This is one of ORCA’s goals.
“Our vision is for neighbours on every street to know each other and everyone is prepared for an emergency”.
Nicola said this is a free event. We encourage people to register to attend through eventbrite to ensure your seat and to go into the draw to win an emergency preparedness kit, register at
