Be Prepared
At Home
The Bay of Plenty will experience natural and man-made disasters
such as power and water failure, earthquakes, and volcanic
eruptions in the future. Disasters have the potential to ruin
everything you have worked for over the years - homes, treasured
and precious momentos and, possibly the loss of a loved one... To

At School
Experience around the world has shown that where people are
aware of the risks around them and plan their response, then
injuries, damage and subsequent trauma are significantly reduced.
The purpose of the planning process is therefore to ensure that the
safety of students and staff is maintained as far as possible in
any emergency incident. To learn more, visit our At
School page.
At Work
Planning for emergencies is a sensible precaution. We are faced
with a variety of hazards that could cause an emergency for your
business. That represents a threat to you, your employees, your
customers, and your community. Businesses that are poorly prepared
to deal with an emergency, or the consequences of it, may not be
able to stay in business. To learn more, visit our At Work page.
Disabilities
If you or a member of your household or community has a
disability, make arrangements now with a family member, friend or
neighbour, to help in an emergency. To learn more, visit our Disabilities
page.
