inbrief news Water rescue in windy Wellington Police are warning the public to take care on the water after an incident at Days Bay last week. A number of people got into trouble when their kayaks tipped over and were rescued by members of the public. While this story has a happy ending, Senior Sergeant Quentin Ward says it could have been much worse. When going out on the water, people need to be aware of the wind direction to make sure they’re not going to be blown away from shore. “If you are going out on the water, make sure to wear a life jacket and tell someone where you’re going. It’s also a great idea to take a waterproof cell phone or a phone in a sealed plastic bag,” he says.

Communication is key when flooding is imminent, and four American students are in Lower Hutt working on the vital task of ensuring timely flood warnings get through to affected communities, focusing on neighbourhoods around the Waiwhetu Stream. The students, from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, are working with Greater Wellington and Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) on the pilot project, which is designed to improve local flood warning systems. Central to its approach is listening to the community’s views on its perception of the likelihood of flooding, the effectiveness of current warning systems and the best ways to make effective contact in the event of dangerously high flood levels.
