Who we are:
Emergency response volunteers in the village that have been active since Kaikoura.
Purpose:
To collectively organise and prepare for an emergency in Paekakariki.
Aim:
To ensure our community is ready and can and will take care of each other when an emergency happens.
Participation:
Anyone who has an interest in preparedness and response. Everyone has something to contribute.
Principles:
- Initiative: We will be proactive in thinking about how events impact our community and how we can mitigate those impacts and become even stronger.
- Inclusive and participatory: Everyone has a role to play. We are all leaders. We will provide mutual support for those who are interested to take action.
- Thoughtful: We will think about our actions and the consequences, and choose those actions that have the greatest benefit and the least negative consequences. This includes adherence to privacy laws.
- Evidence-based: We will refer to reliable sources, deferring to government sources. We will not support misinformation.
- Compassion: We will promote caring and sharing. We will think of those more vulnerable in our community and ensure they are connected and cared for.
- Efficient: We will not duplicate efforts, but rather reinforce good ideas and initiatives including government.
