We are now in Phase 3 of Omicron Response
With Omicron circulating in our community, the focus is on safely managing COVID-19 at home.
Local healthcare and manaaki is still available for those who need it.
It’s okay to feel anxious or uncertain. Be kind and check on each other.
Together we can protect our whānau and communities.

Get Prepared
The Wellington region is an awesome place to live, but it’s a little wild. We often experience earthquakes, storms, flooding and landslides. We’re also at risk from tsunamis.
These emergencies have similar impacts. It would be hard to get around, hard to communicate with loved ones and hard to get access to the essentials.
We’ve outlined the things you can do to prepare your household and community get through the challenging days safely, and as comfortably as possible.
