The Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery Mark Mitchell has declared a state of local emergency for the Canterbury Region, to assist in the response to the current severe weather.
The Minister signed the declaration at 03:24pm today.
“I have made this declaration as the Canterbury Mayors have not yet been able to be sworn in following the recent local elections,” Mr Mitchell said.
“The National Emergency Management Agency have been in close contact with the Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency Management Group and confirmed that a declaration is necessary.
“The state of local emergency will ensure local Civil Defence have access to the emergency powers they need to respond and support emergency services during this event.”
“This is a significant weather event that is causing impacts around many parts of the country. My thoughts are with everyone that has been affected.
“Listen to advice provided by your local Civil Defence Emergency Management Group and emergency services and follow any instructions. Put safety first. Don’t take any chances.
“Stay up to date with the latest weather information from MetService. For advice on how to prepare for dangerous winds and severe weather visit getready.govt.nz.”
I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent Solar and Stellar, and Earth geo-tech anomalies that have been going on, or just some run-of-the-mill climate change shite.
The whole of the worlds weather is being geoengineerd and manipulated by the great military industrial complex for the benefit of the elite. If there is ever an opportunity to get a flight to mars take it because what they are doing is destroying the ozone layer and killing all the plankton in the seas and oceans. No plankton – dead planet. Its way past time to act.
2am Thursday, motionless calm in the weather; 7am same.
Puffs of wind 7.40 and 7.50. 1 hour later, still calm.
I’m off to tie my garden shed down.
