Visit to Local Emergency Management Office

On Monday our syndicate had the chance to go into the Central Wellington Emergency Management Office and look at how they run their operations.

Our class has been running an Inquiry study to find out - 'In the event of a big earthquake in Wellington, what organisations would support the Civil Defence and what would they do?'

Specialist groups from our class interviewed experts from the following key organsiations last week:
- Police Department
- Fire Department
- St Johns Ambulance
- Defence Forces
- Wellington Regional council
- Civil Defence
- Red Cross

It was great to go into the Management Office and see firstly, that we were on the right track regarding who helps the Civil Defence and, secondly, where all the communication we have been talking to experts about actually takes place.
