LIVING IN LAKE ŌKĀREKA
The Lake Ōkāreka Community Association (LŌCA) has been charged by the Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management Group to form a Lake Ōkāreka Community Emergency Hub and Group to help in the planning of our area’s response to civil defence emergencies.
Our goal is to gather the resources and expertise available in our local area to develop a response plan for emergencies as they occur. Community Response Plan & Evacuation Guide
The Lake Ōkāreka Community Response Plan outlines the natural hazards that can affect our community and provides clear guidance on how to prepare, respond, and recover safely from each one. Alongside it, the Lake Ōkāreka Community Evacuation Plan helps residents understand how to get ready for potential emergencies, what to do when an evacuation is required, and how to move to safety efficiently and confidently. Both documents are available for download under the Resources tab, giving every household the tools to stay informed, prepared, and resilient. Resident Registry
One crucial tool of our preparedness plan is our resident registry. In the event of an emergency, the registry will enable us to locate area residents. If you have not yet registered with our group or are new to the area, please consider adding your family’s information to the registry. This can be done by clicking the button below and filling in the electronic form. All information submitted is kept confidential. If you prefer to mail your information, please click here to download the form and print it. Submit your Information to the Civil Defence Registry Download the Form Current Status When an emergency affecting our community is declared, the Community Emergency Hub will be activated at the Lake Ōkāreka Fire Station, 1 Acacia Road. The Lake Ōkāreka community requires assistance from our local residents and volunteer groups. We will be able to provide shelter, information, communication, water, food and cooking facilities. If you're unsure or in need of help, go to the Lake Ōkāreka Fire Station. Getting Involved If you would like to get involved in the Community Emergency Hub, please get in touch with us.
