Otira Civil Defence preparations

Sitting at the gateway to Westland Otira vitally needed the capacity to help themselves in the event of a natural disaster. Working together, the Otira Responsible Community Association, West Coast Civil Defence and Westland District Council have installed a new Civil Defence container in the town. Over the coming months, the container will be supplied with the equipment necessary for the people in the town to support themselves in the event of an emergency. This follows on from similar containers installed in South Westland over the last few years.
