Civil Defence
There are two Civil Defence locations in Waitara, due to the river dividing the town and the potential for the bridge to suffer damage in an emergency situation.
- Owae Marae, North Street, Waitara – located on the East side of the awa (river).
- Waitara Central School, 12 Cracroft Street, Waitara – located on the West side of the awa (river)
For all Civil Defence emergency situations please ensure that you have an emergency plan and pack in your home and listen to the radio for updates and information. (A battery run radio may be needed as part of your emergency pack – just in case of power blackouts too).
The Taranaki Regional Council is the Civil Defence Emergency Centre
