Fighting to ensure that residents are aware and informed about their safety
Since 2012, ECESS has been challenging the moral, legal, and technical obligations of the Waimakarri District Council (WDC) and Environment Canterbury's (Ecan) consent to build two high-impact large dams. This is a serious issue affecting your safety, your family's safety, and your future.
Consent requirements and community safety
The consent ruling imposed 52 consent conditions on WDC and Waimakarri Irrigation Limited (WIL), with monitoring by a Community Liaison Group (CLG). Key among these requirements are insurance and personal safety protocols. It's vital that everyone in the flood zone is acutely aware of the Emergency Evacuation Plan (EEP) to ensure their safety.
Emergency evacuation plan: Your Safety is Our Priority
Everyone in the flood zone needs to be acutely aware of the Emergency Evacuation Plan (EEP). This document outlines the procedures and steps to take in the event of a dam breach or other emergency situation. Your safety and the safety of your loved ones depends on understanding and following the EEP.
Your safety matters
Stay informed for your safety
ECESS as part of the CLG lead by WIL is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents in the potential flood zone. We believe it's crucial to have open and transparent communication regarding the risks associated with the dam projects and how they affect your safety. We encourage you to review all available documents and contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your safety. (TBA) Contact us at [[phone number]] or [[email]].
