Hi

I’m not sure what the position is there but here are the products I would post to Buller DC web or FB or both with the release of the EMA with its current message.

If you could let me know what is happening our Controller and Warning System Specialist is standing by to send the EMA.

 

Thanks

Katherine

Hi all

 

The purpose of this email is to confirm that the EMA was issued at 3:55PM (see below for details)

 

My understanding is that there may be another EMA issued later this evening to the same area regarding mandatory evacuation. However if this is the case we need to be specific about the areas that are being evacuated (e.g. We can’t use immediate area as people will be unsure of whether that includes them or not). The wording is being drafted by West Coast CDEM.

 

The EMA has been issued via the West Coast Active Group so this allows West Coast Users to update or stop a message. I have also added Jo, John and Anna from NEMA to the West Coast Group who can do this for NEMA if necessary.

 

The primary point of contact remains Katherine however if there are any urgent matters contact the NEMA Duty Team.

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Hamish
