‘Otago Gets Ready’ - new civil defence tool
New civil defence tool helps Otago ‘get ready’
In an emergency, knowledge is key and working together is crucial.
That’s why Emergency Management Otago has launched ‘Otago Gets Ready', a proven two-way communication tool that can send Otago residents real-time localised email/text alerts during emergencies and help people prepare to be part of a co-ordinated community response.
Do you have skills, resources or aid you can offer others in an emergency like first aid training, a 4WD, generator or language skills?
Do you have whānau who may need extra assistance in an emergency?
