Ngā mihi to everyone who helped keep all beach users safe during this period.
Please continue riding your horses in a safe and careful manner below the high-tide mark, and away from ecological sites such as dunes and estuaries. We also ask people using surfcasters, kontiki, kite, drone and other longline fishing gear to make sure your equipment is always monitored and visible to other beach users.

While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched and may not be able to get to every issue immediately. Your Community Emergency Hub is opened and run by people like you, using the skills and resources you already have – together, we can get through a disaster.
For more information on how you and your whānau can be prepared, check in with our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.
