Tauranga Natural Hazards Presentation

Location: Cafe Scientifique, Tauranga Yacht Club, Sulpher Point.

Cafe Scientifique Tga welcomes Steve Raynor who will enlighten us as to the Natural Hazards in the BOP. (This talk was postponed from May)
Please Register on Eventbrite. If you cannot come please let me know as we are having a large number of no shows on the night.
$5 door fee covers the venue and nibbles.
Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start.
Natural hazards abound in the BOP - lucky us!
In fact wherever you are in NZ there is one hazard or another ready to make trouble. Hazards like floods, earthquakes and volcanoes. Understanding our natural hazards is a foundation for building resilient communities and Steve will share the results of several recent studies in our region and set these into a natural hazard context for Tauranga. We will also look at some uses of the information and particularly how it can help identify resilience building projects and guide new city planning rules. Several hazard web-viewers will be demonstrated - bring your laptop so you can try it yourself on the night.
 
Steve is a Civil Engineer and recently served as resilience specialist at TCC developing hazard mapping and mitigation projects to bring resilience in the civil infrastructure. Previously he has worked in numerous countries engineering in environments from the hot Arabian deserts (where flooding is a hazard!) to the steaming jungles of Papua New Guinea and at times dealing with civil unrest - one of the few hazards that NZ is free of. Steve is currently a Doctoral candidate at Waikato University developing multi-hazard mapping techniques.

Like the Papamoa Food run but different location.

Area to be covered by us is Bayfair Estate.

Bex bringing trailer to be towed by USAR2 the noise maker and lead vehicle.

Peter to be towing his own trailer.

Some boxes have been collected, if you have any you want to get rid of this is the time to do it.

Leaving from our carpark at 1745hrs for a 1800hrs start.

Santa hats optional but look the part.

COVID could still put a stop to this happening given the local situation.

This year the Papamoa one is being held a week earlier than the rest.

USAR1, USAR 2 & USAR3 are being used as lead vehicles as was the case last year.

USAR1 & USAR2 are meeting at Gordon Spratt Reserve to pick up the trailing vehicles with trailers and helpers at 1730hrs.

USAR3 is being driven by Jon as last year with the FENZ troops at Pap East.

Finishing by 2000hrs, there will be sausages and chips available at the end cooked by the local Lions Club.

 

How it has worked in the passed is a services vehicle (USAR 1, 2 and/or 3) travels a given route with lights on and sounds the siren to alert the neighbourhood that we are there and another vehicle will follow with trailer and members collecting from the public as they come out to donate.

NOTES for 2020.
Collect packaging boxes from DomSalt
Packaging tape and dispenser to retape boxes.
Boxes are lower than banana boxes but are sturdy when the lid is folded inside.
They can stack on top of each other easily.
Allow for traffic at that time of afternoon for those getting to meeting points.
 
Debrief notes:
Carry bag or box for collectors?
USAR3 has intercom speaker fitted.
USAR1 need to check if intercom fitted.
USAR1 & USAR2 do have hand held loadhailers. To inform public that it is a food driv not a Tsunami.
Signs made up to put on sides of vehicles saying what we are collecting for.
Some tinsel on trucks.
High side trailers need to remove back gate.
Try and get confirmation of routes from organisers early?

CONFIRMED.

Emergency Services Community Foodbank Run.

Gordon Spratt Reserve 1730hrs briefing, then deploy to start run by 1800hrs.

We are suppling 3 lead vehicles and personnel, we do not need to supply private vehicles and trailers as Neighbourhood Support have covered that.

Leaving from the shed we will then convoy to Gordon Spratt Reserve and deploy from there to an area west of there in the Papamoa area. We will have a private vehicle and trailer driven from someone from neighbourhood support to follow one of our vehicles.

USAR3 will be driven by Jon and joining the Papamoa East area.

It would be a good idea to have a reusable type bag to carry donated items in, before transferring to the trailer.

 

 

 

 

Meeting at shed from 1630hrs.

Things that will help are boxes, bins etc to put donated items in. These can be loaded into the back of the vehicle towing the trailer if need be.
