Teams from Waimakariri, Christchurch and Selwyn will be practising their outreach skills in the Silverstream area, and you may see them taking photos and talking to people.

Please note, this is just an exercise and is designed to help our teams better assist the Council’s Emergency Operations Centre for future emergencies.

This exercise also coincides with The Sterling Kaiapoi’s Community Emergency Hub Open Day from 11am - 12.30pm. If you live in the area, feel free to pop along and find out how you can help your neighbours during a civil defence emergency.
