Field Days 09


The team are all go at the Central Districts Field Days 2009. The emergency management display is again part of the emergency services stand. Our focus this year is on floods... rainfall and river levels and getting people onto the flood warning system. The first day of the show was busy in the morning but quietened down in the afternoon. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us for the rest of the show.

The display that Evan seems to be guarding is comprised of a rain gauge stand (foreground) and a stilling well tower model (with the green cabinet on top). Pull-ups (not the training nappies) explain how this technology works and around the back are displays of the 2004 floods. Cargill and the hydro boys have spent several late nights building and getting the models working - thanks guys.

As an aside, the earthquake cubes from last year are heading over to Hastings in the next few weeks for an Expo there.
