Resources for a Civil Defence Emergency
In the event of a civil defence emergency listen to your radio
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) advises that in times of crisis or civil defence emergency a battery powered radio, or a car radio remain essential lifelines if power is out and other forms of communication are unavailable. RNZ (Radio New Zealand) is New Zealand’s statutory civil defence lifeline radio broadcaster, providing vital information and updates as they come to hand.
