A new webpage about emergency services which will feature regular news bulletins has been established on the Volunteering NZ website, www.volunteeringnz.org.nz. This new feature has been established through a partnership between Volunteering NZ and the Ministry for Civil Defence and Emergency Management.

One of the objectives of the new webpage will be to encourage more people to consider becoming an emergency volunteer and the page provides information about a full range of emergency services - civil defence, land search and rescue, specialist land search and rescue, search dogs, marine search and rescue, fire, ambulance and victim support. Contact information is provided for each section. Regular updates and bulletins will provide a source of information for current and potential emergency services volunteers. The link to the webpage is http://www.volunteeringnz.org.nz/civil/civil_index.php
