Civil Defence

Muriwai Neighbourhood Response Plan
A Neighbourhood Response Plan (NRP) has been created for the Muriwai community.

When an emergency occurs, this plan will be activated by the community.

By developing a plan prior to potential events, the Muriwai community supports emergency services, utilities and welfare agencies who respond to emergencies in this area.

In preparation for surviving a civil emergency the community should undertake to be personally prepared by creating and practicing a household emergency plan and assembling and maintain a household emergency survival and get-a-way kits.

Civil Defence Community Response Group newsletters can be found at the bottom of this page.

The Muriwai Fire Station is the assembly and operations point for any Civil Defence emergency.  
For detailed information on our NRP, please download the .pdf files at the bottom of this page.

Information can also be found on the back page of the yellow pages or by visiting the website
