The Whanganui Emergency Operations Centre formally closed on 14 May, 2020, after managing coordinating the regional response to Alert Levels 3 and 4.
Updated 24 August 2020
Following Alert Levels 3 and 4, an Integrated Recovery Team was established, based on relationships which were strengthened during the emergency response.
Whanganui District Health Board is working closely with Whanganui District Council, Whanganui Civil Defence, Ruapehu District Council and Rangitikei District Council and a wide range of organisations and agencies such as Whanganui & Partners, the Whanganui Health Network and the Ministry of Social Development.
The current focus of the team is to collect and evaluate information gathered from and by people and organisations throughout our region, while also addressing immediate needs and opportunities.
