A disaster can strike any time and anywhere. It is important to be prepared for a civil defence event.
Preparing for an emergency
To learn how to prepare and what to do during an event, see the West Coast Civil Defence and Emergency Management (WCCDEM) website and How To Get Ready website.
During a Emergency (civil defence) event, the WCCDEM website will be kept updated with news and information, as well as an Emergency Situation Map. This should be the first place you visit for vital information.
You can also find out information on the WCCDEM Facebook page.
The Westland District Council Facebook page will also be updated as frequently as possible:
Animals
