Effective planning for emergencies and natural disasters is being tackled at a community event being organised by the Araparera Community Catchment Group on Sunday, May 19.

The recently formed group is joining forces with Rodney Neighbourhood Support to run the event at the Ahuroa Fire Station between 1pm and 3.30pm.

Information about emergency resources and support available will be provided, as well as a free barbecue lunch.

Organisers say that in the wake of the 2023 floods and storms, it is important for the community to know what to do for their families, livestock, property and neighbours, if and when disaster strikes.
