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.

Greater Wellington Regional Council promotes Quality for Life by ensuring our environment is protected while meeting the economic, cultural and social needs of the community.

Our specific responsibilities include environment management, flood protection and land management, provision of regional parks, public transport planning and funding, and metropolitan water supply.

The Council is responsible for developing policies that direct the activities of the Greater Wellington & Wairarapa. Various Acts of Parliament, such as the Local Government Act and the Resource Management Act state what activities the Council should, or may, be involved with. It is the Councillors' role to decide how the activities should be carried out.

## Biosecurity
Biosecurity (pest animals and pest plants)is about protecting our environment, economy and way of life from the harmful impacts of pests and diseases. Greater Wellington works with landowners to target regional pest plants and animals and helps the rural economy by controlling possums to stop the spread of bovine Tb.

## Emergency management
We co-ordinate the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group for the region. We work together to minimise the potential effects of emergencies, prepare ourselves and the community, respond to emergencies and help the community to recover.

## Environment
The region's natural resources - land, water, air, energy - sustain our lives. We help people to use these resources appropriately and sustainably.

## Flood protection
The region's many rivers mean homes, farmland, jobs, livelihoods and property can be at risk from flooding. We help communities protect themselves from the effects of flooding.

## Land management
Soil erosion can be prevented or reduced by improving the way the land is used, perhaps by planting trees, by changing management systems, or by allowing native bush to grow in areas that are at risk from erosion. We work with landowners to control soil erosion.

## Parks and forests
We maintain a network of regional parks and forests, enjoyed by thousands of people every year. We also look after their environmental and historical features.

## Pollution control
We maintain a 24-hour incident response service, conduct environmental assessments of industrial and commercial sites, and maintain a register of sites with hazardous industries or activities. To report a pollution incident, phone 04-384 5708, or freephone 0800 4WN REG.

## Transport
We fund bus and train services, we plan the roading network and we build public transport infrastructure. Greater Wellington spends about $30 million each year subsidising public transport.

## Water supply
Greater Wellington collects and treats all the drinking water used in Wairarapa.

The South Wairarapa District is situated at the southern most corner of the North Island and has an area of approximately 248,455 hectares (2484 square kilometres).
