Civil Defence Response Plan review Tuesday 11th March, 7:30pm-9pm
Venue: Devonport Community House, 32 Clarence St, ph: 445 3068
Devonport’s plan has been in place for almost three years and it’s time to be
reviewed. Over this time we’ve seen disasters ranging from Christchurch,
through Wellington, Seddon and now the Wairarapa.
Civil Defence is about being self sufficient as families, neighbours and communities –
identifying WHAT has happened and HOW to deal with it. We have an Emergency
Response Group in Devonport and existing Members will appreciate New Members. So,
come along and be part of emergency planning for Devonport!
