Shortest Ever Disaster Movie back for another year
Hawke’s Bay school students are being urged to get their creative minds into gear and take part in this year’s Shortest
Ever Disaster Movie competition.
The competition, run by the Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group, invites schools to create a short
film, focussing on being prepared for a civil defence emergency.
Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Manager Ian Macdonald says this year’s theme is “What would you
do?”.
“We are encouraging students to consider different emergency situations and how they would react, with the aim of
educating people about how to prepare for a civil defence emergency,” says Mr Macdonald.
“The competition is a fun way for schools to also strengthen their own civil defence preparedness and awareness among
staff and students.”
Schools interested in taking part need to register at www.hbemergency.govt.nz, where they will also find out more details about the competition and be able to view previous winners. This year
prizes will be awarded in three categories: primary, intermediate and secondary.
Schools need to register by Wednesday June 4 and all entries need to be in by Wednesday 3 September, with prize giving
on Wednesday 17 September. The winning entries will be available to view during Get Ready Week - 21 – 27 September 2014.
