Western Bay of Plenty
About Western Bay of Plenty
Home to approximately 63,000 people, Western Bay of Plenty District is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing areas and supports thriving horticultural, agricultural and tourism industries.
The district can experience storms, flooding, earthquakes, landslides and tsunami. Its coastal location and extensive river systems mean many communities are exposed to both coastal and river flooding hazards.
Information during an emergency
During an emergency, information will be available through a number of channels from Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management and Western Bay District Council.
Western Bay District Council will provide information to the community and visitors through a variety of channels, including their website and Facebook.
