Tairawhiti prepares for next disaster with emergency pods

From First Up, 5:35 am on 12 October 2022

The Tairawhiti region is making sure they'll be prepared for the next natural disaster. Twenty shipping containers packed with emergency equipment will be distributed across the region to prepare isolated communites for tsunamis, earthquakes or floods. One of the containers will be on display to the public at the Gisborne A&P show this weekend, and locals are being encouraged to check it out. Tairawhiti Emergency Management Manager Ben Green joins Nathan Rarere to discuss.
