| Media Release Waikato and Bay of Plenty engineers prepare for
the next natural disaster It is timely that engineers in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions are being asked to come forward and prepare for future natural disasters in their regions, especially after the devastating flooding in the Bay of Plenty over the weekend. Hamilton Emergency Response Seminar The Institution of Professional Engineers (IPENZ) Waikato/Bay of Plenty branch is hosting a seminar in Hamilton on Tuesday, 20 July for engineers to be updated on arrangements being put in place promoting interaction with the Civil Defence and Emergency Management sector before, and during, a major emergency event. “It is important to train volunteers in the engineering profession to prepare them for a major civil defence disaster to ensure a wider range of engineering and technical services are provided in emergency situations,” said IPENZ Deputy Chief Executive, John Gardiner who will be co-presenting the seminar with Dave Brunsdon of the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineering. “It will be of particular interest to those local engineers who have expressed interest in being part of the IPENZ Emergency Register,” he said. The two-hour seminar is being jointly organised with the Association
of Consulting Engineers (ACENZ ), the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency
Management, and the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering.
