AREC recently attended a Police Search and Rescue Exercise in Hawkes Bay that ran from Friday 8th November through to Sunday 10th November.
The exercise was held in the Hinerua, Three Johns and Waipawa Forks areas.
Hawkes Bay AREC members joined New Zealand Police SAR personnel and Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) for the scenario, which saw the agencies working together to find the identified people (actors).
These scenario exercises are a great opportunity for AREC to prepare for future multi-agency operations that support the lost, missing, and injured.3 weeks ago
