SpillEx preparation



In preparation for the next national spill exercise, members of the National Response Team have gathered at the Marine Pollution Response Services base in Te Atatu. The purpose of the training session was to practice using the WebEOC incident management system, clarify roles and outline expectations for the exercise.

Good progress has been made in developing the system but the exercise will provide an excellent opportunity to put the system (and staff) under a little more pressure.

While there, I took the opportunity to take a few snaps of some of the stores. When necessary, equipment located in the regions will be supplemented from the national store and a good system is in place for mobilisation of the kit.
