The devastating effects of Cyclone Gabrielle in February serve as a reminder to assess things at home and check you have all you need to be ready for emergencies.
After the severe storms experienced by whānau in our own rohe, Te Tauihu, in August 2022, Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Trust developed an emergency plan template to help whānau prepare for the unexpected.
The Rautaki ā Whānau (Whānau Plan) is part of the Te Tauihu Emergency Management Strategy.

Sit down with your whānau, make your own plan and pop it on the fridge so everyone knows where it is.
