Otago Emergency Management Final Update (#11)
The state of emergency has been lifted in Otago and the region has officially transitioned into recovery.
Nick Donnelly has been appointed Group Recovery Manager. Within Dunedin the recovery operation is being managed by Simon Pickford from the Dunedin City Council.
Group Controller Chris Hawker said that in practical terms, Emergency Management Otago’s staff would now be supporting the recovery operation.
Dunedin has established a formal recovery office. Elsewhere in Otago, the Waitaki, Clutha and Central Otago District Councils are carrying out repairs and community support activities as part of their normal business.
