Civil Defence Crews on Standby
The cities of Waitakere and North Shore have response crews on standby, ready to help with the civil defence emergency in Tauranga.
Overnight Waitakere offered its Initial Response Team of 8 volunteers and North Shore City has 9 of its volunteers ready to go. All are first aid qualified and civil defence co-ordinators are now waiting to hear from Controllers in the flood affected areas.
"In these sorts of situations Kiwis pitch in together and we are ready to do whatever is needed and help wherever we can," says Waitakere Civil Defence spokesperson, Councillor Derek Battersby.
