Volunteer in your community
Community members and volunteer organisations play a vital role in your community’s preparation for, response to, and recovery from an emergency. Whatever organisation you volunteer for, or even if you just show up to help occasionally, you can promote preparedness and increase the resilience of the Wellington region. We’d love to see you and your community group at any of our community preparedness events.
