THIS IS AN EXERCISE STORY
As part of Exercise Regroup Horizons staff will today move to high alert. Emergency Management staff yesterday reviewed the Council's Pandemic Influenza Plan and checked arrangements should the current outbreak reach New Zealand shores.
Arrangements for the redeployment of pandemic response resources are underway, instructions on personal and family preparedness offered and programmes for reducing face-to-face work requirements investigated. Additional measures are being taken to safeguard key staff and ensure that an ability to work from home is available.
The CDEM Group's Emergency Coordination Centre at Horizons has been activated but will be operational only during work hours at this time. The normal Council duty officer system remains in effect.
A Groove workspace will be created today to enable agencies to share information with agencies who have installed this tool already.
Some Group members have already addressed issues with their pandemic plans in anticipation of the exercise activation dates of 18-19 June.
