With states of local emergencies in place for Auckland and Northland, many families, including our own Fire and Emergency whanau have been impacted personally. The Fire and Emergency National Coordination Centre (NCC) and Regional Coordination Centres (RCC) in Te Hiku and Nga Tai Ki Te Puku have been stood up to help manage the response.
