Ruapehu District Council (RDC) is the local territoral authority for the Ruapehu district.  We have our head office in Taumarunui with a second major office in Ohakune and a small service centre in Raetihi. For locations and opening hours see Council Contact Information

## Ruapehu District
Ruapehu is one of New Zealand's largest districts by land area but with one of the smallest permanent population counts made up of many small, diverse and geographically spread out rural communities. 
It has an area of 6,730 square kilometers and had a population of 11,844 at the 2013 census, down 12.7% from the 2006 census.

The district is landlocked, and contains the western half of the Tongariro National Park, a duel world heritage location, including most of Mount Ruapehu and the western sides of Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Tongariro, as well as part of the Whanganui National Park. The district is also home to the world famous Raurimu Spiral on the North Island Main Trunk railway line.

The Ruapehu District offers unlimited opportunities as a region in which to live, work or visit.
Blessed with spectacular scenery, the Ruapehu District has a magnificent range of attractions and things to do and, as such, offers an unparallelled lifestyle.

## Tourism
The tourist towns of Whakapapa Village, National Park and Ohakune are located near Mount Ruapehu in the south east of the district, and Waiouru, with an elevation of 815 metres, is in the extreme south east of the district and houses the large Waiouru Army Camp. The southern section of the infamous Desert Road section of State Highway 1 runs through the east of the district, from Waiouru to Rangipo.

## Ruapehu Economy
Ruapehu has well developed farming, forestry, manufacturing and visitor industries, offering many employment and investment opportunities. The local communities are extremely entrepreneurial and, along with Council, are focused on achieving and maintaining sustainable development within the District.

Civil Defence is all about people helping people. It is all of us working together to take care of our community's needs in an emergency event.

If there is an emergency, everyone needs to be self-reliant and prepared to survive in their own homes for at least three days without assistance, other than from their neighbours.

In an emergency, Civil Defence co-ordinates a wide range of groups and agencies to:

Help prevent loss of life
Help the injured and relieve distress
Help return the community to normal
An emergency could occur at any time in the Whanganui District. Whanganui Civil Defence Emergency Management is there to help people in an emergency event. The Whanganui District Council and the Police, Fire and Ambulance services may not be able to manage the situation on their own. The Civil Defence network is able to bring together extra resources to help these services cope.

Due to its location and environment, New Zealand faces many potential disasters. In some cases, such as a weather-related or volcanic disaster, there may be time for a warning,  but an earthquake could strike without warning.  All disasters have the potential to cause disruption, damage property, and take lives,  so it's vital that you prepare now.

How prepared are we as a community or individual for the next man-made or natural disaster?  
Will you cope when disaster strikes?  Be prepared ... disaster can strike at any time and often without warning.
Knowing what to do in the event of a disaster can help to keep you and your family safe.
Preparing for a disaster can be quite simple and a good place to start is to visit www.getthru.govt.nz.

Alternatively, pick up a copy of "Are You Prepared" at any Council Office.  It has easy to use information on:

Developing a household emergency plan.

What you require for your emergency survival kit.

What you need for your getaway kit.

Preparing for different kinds of disasters.
