News Team Roles : Civil Defence Expert

This is the person who will advise people on what to do in the case of a volcanic eruption. They need to find out what are the dangers from an eruption and how to guard against them. The Civil Defence expert should collect a kit so that it can be shown on the TV broadcast.

Look in the library for any information about civil defence, or emergencies, and ask for help if you can't find anything. Look in Journal Search with carefully chosen keywords, and ask Mrs Mosley if you can get any journals you need to read.

Check out this intranet page to see what kind of dangers you need to prepare people for. Check with the volcanologist to see which ones are likely to happen in Papatoetoe (not all of them are likely).

Check out this page to see what to get together for your disaster kit. Make sure you know what each item is needed for, so you can explain it. This page contains most of the important information that you will have to explain in the TV news programme, so take dot jots, and put it in an Inspiration diagram, without looking back at the page. This will help you remember it all.
