The Resilience Games / Survival Eastbourne (making fun of disasters?)
The recent and continuing extreme weather events, climate change and the ever present threat of earthquakes make it imperative that we do what we can to Reduce, get Ready, Respond and Recover from emergencies. Wellington Regional Emergency Management (WREMO) are proposing to run some workshops and practices on this.
The ECB would like to combine this with the highly successful Eastbourne Games format by running an event where teams of all ages from each bay or area compete in a variety of tasks related to emergency preparation and response. We would get emergency services involved as well as any other groups that may be called upon to assist in the event of an emergency. It would try to be fun as well as educational, with the outcome of each bay or group having a plan and resources prepared for most contingencies.
There could be prizes of emergency equipment, but the real winners would be all of us, better prepared! What do you think? |
