I'm trialing the email facility on the Eastbourne.nz website, you may already be subscribed on one of the newsletters and familiar with this format - if you have any problems with this let me know (it's a private list). I hope to set up a subscribable bays-wide email system to provide another way to alert residents when needed.
There's been a lot happening, but specifically the slip at Point Howard which showed the importance of communications in dealing with emergencies - congratulations to the Point Howard Residents Association (particularly Allison Gandy and Red Robinson) for your critical role in this.
We (Eastbourne Community Board) want to use this as an opportunity to learn and develop improved resilience throughout the bays, so look forward to various initiatives in the near future. We'll start by finding out what was learned in the Point Howard slip response - the link below is a review which looks at the Wellington Water and HCC interactions leading up to the slip, and what was learnt.
What we also need is examination of subsequent responses, actions and outcomes which should provide guidance on how we can prepare and respond better for future situations.

As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions contact me - and if you are not already signed up for the community newsletter give it a go (link below).
Thanks for your contributions and support, I'll keep you informed on progress and information related to our community resilience.
