New Zealand is vulnerable to earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, fires, and severe storms with flooding and landslides. Such an event could happen when you’re sleeping, or when some family members are at work and school or elsewhere. You need a plan so your whole family knows what to do, wherever they are.
Making a plan so you’re prepared for emergencies is easy and it’ll give you a sense of confidence.
You can get information (in various languages) about making a plan and download a template at getready.govt.nz. If you’ll find it easier to type your plan, click ‘get started’ on that web page, or create your own document in whatever format you’ll find easiest.
Here you can see you can see two different households making their home emergency kits and emergency plans.
You can create your own kit for a lot less money than some premade ones, and it’ll be customised to you.
