4.2 Current Arrangements 4.2.1 Community Response Plans In response to the severe floods in December 2010 two Community Response Plans were written for the Wakamarina/Canvastown and the Kenepuru, Central Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere communities which were severely impacted and completely isolated during the emergency. Both are now out of date and need to be reviewed. There are a number of small isolated settlements and distinct communities scattered throughout the District, most of which are in the Marlborough Sounds. Some communities (eg; Ngakuta Bay, Duncan Bay) have produced their own 1-2 page information sheets, and the CDEM Group works with individual communities to facilitate consistent messaging for what to do in an emergency. 2010 Canvastown Floodwaters over State Highway 6 4.2.2 Public Education and Consultation MDC manages a Marlborough Emergency Twitter site https://twitter.com/MarlEmergency which is used to provide messages, updates and educational material to the audience. This can be updated during an emergency by the Council’s social media staff. Some of Council’s employees also fill the role of public information managers when needed and the media liaison person employed by Council is also involved in public alerting and information sharing. CDEM has a page on the Council website which is strongly focused on education. It includes links to the operative Emergency Group Plan and Community Response Plans as well as the locations of Civil Defence Centres in the District. Particular information material also includes the following topics; Are you prepared? Drop Cover Hold, and Get Ready Get Thru messages. The Engineering Lifelines Groups’ four principles of emergency planning and planned future projects are also outlined on the site. Marlborough CDEM staff put significant effort into maintaining relationships with 65 Neighbourhood Support Coordinators as well as rural support groups and Civil Defence Centre volunteers.
