We got off lightly


Although there were some reports of damage across the region over the weekend, all-in-all we got off pretty lightly compared to our northern neighbours. It wouldn't have taken much for the weather bomb to swing a couple of degrees and head our way though.

The Emergency Management Duty Officer was not particularly busy over the weekend but we did take the opportunity to have a play with MS Groove during the build up phase. Evan had this to say about it... "Seems to work quite well and if I wasn't convinced of its full value before, I am now." If things had escalated, we would have shared the workspace with other EOCs that have already installed Groove.

The photo was provided by one of the Council staff who had a few problems at home over the weekend! Thanks Kerri.
