State of emergency lifted
Just to advice the Dunedin State of Emergency was lifted at 9am today. Under the Civil Defence Emergency Act 2002 we are
now operating under a Notice of Local Transition Period as we move into the recovery phase.
The transition period is in force for 28 days (expires 9am 21 August) unless extended or ended earlier. The notice still
gives the local authority powers to carry out essential emergency-related work.
More information about the work happening as part of the recovery phase will be provided today. The work will be led by
Dunedin City Council Recovery Manager Simon Pickford.
