The recent Neighbours Lunch public meeting held at the Okareka Hall attracted quite a few interested local residents. Bruce Quedley from Rotorua Neighbourhood Support and Pauline Hitchcock the Civil Defence Co-ordinator spoke on the roles of their organisations and encouraged people to be prepared for any emergency. Information material was available to take away and the opportunity was taken to update peoples’ contact details. LOCA provided a sausage sizzle and refreshments.
The aim is to collate a central register of Okareka residents and family details in order that should a disaster happen the co-ordinators will have a better knowledge of who may need assistance. At this stage we have a number of residents acting as street co-ordinators who are responsible for looking after a few houses in their vicinity. As a result of the meeting more people have put their hand up to act in this capacity in their street. However in order that we can cover all of Okareka we need more people to act as co-ordinator in their street. If you are interested please contact me.
If you haven't had an e-mail communication from me the Administrator in the last couple of weeks and you have been getting notices in the past, it means I don't have your current e-mail address. Please send me an e-mail so that I can update our data base. Of course we welcome any other residents who would like to be in the loop; just send me an e-mail.
