Note: You are receiving this update because the main item may be of interest to you or your group even if you are not a member of the Climate Response Network. (You will not be subscribed to the group).

We try to keep you informed through our various channels, but in an emergency much of the technology we use may fail.

You may not be aware that we have an Eastern Bays Emergency Radio Network - run by volunteers. We endeavour to have a radio in each bay so in the case of a bay becoming isolated by some event there is a way to communicate with other bays and the Hutt City Emergency Management Centre. We currently need a host/operator for a radio in York Bay if anyone is keen, it's not onerous, and it's not difficult - in fact it's ideal if it's a shared responsibility, so if you want to be involved in your area let us know.

The radio system is very old and about to be replaced by a new system which we may not have access to (outside the community hubs at Point Howard Playcentre, Wellesley College - Days Bay and Muritai School - Eastbourne). We are looking to trial a new alternative which could change the way we respond to emergency communications - with the option for anyone who is interested to take part. More on this soon.

If you are interested in supporting the current system, or staying informed on any developments, please reply to this email

Eastern Bays Climate Response Network on Facebook. Feel free to comment or post on topics related to the goals of this group on the Facebook page.

EBCRN is focussed on the need to act now to both mitigate the causes of accelerating climate change as well as prepare for the impact on our community. You can find out more about Eastbourne and the Network here. If you have climate related events, resources, requests, suggestions or any other information you would like to share please send it to us.

 Note: we create this newsletter "on the fly" as information and events come to our attention. Sometimes short notice of event dates mean the event passes before we send this out, so each email may be triggered but an upcoming event rather than a reasonable interval since the last release. Please feel free to give feedback on content and frequency of news, and send through items you might feel are of interest to the group.

You can forward this to someone if they would like to  join the Eastern Bays Climate Response Network and/or subscribe to the email updates
