Victoria Rescue - NZRT7

09/10/2026

It feels like only a little while ago we were hosting them in Welly, but now it's our turn to be hosted at the other end of the island!

Catch everyone soon!

👋 A warm welcome to Response Teams from across the North Island!

New Zealand Response Teams - NZRT from across the North Island are travelling to Auckland today take part in Exercise Tri-Force | Mahi Ngātahi, a large-scale emergency response exercise.

🌧️ Based around a severe weather emergency, the exercise will give teams the chance to practice responding to challenges such as flooding, landslides and damaged infrastructure.

🤝 Exercises like this give teams a great opportunity to train together, strengthen their skills, and be prepared to support communities during a real emergency.

As teams arrive and take part this weekend, you may notice more Response Team vehicles and personnel travelling around the region. It’s all part of the planned exercise, so there’s no need for concern.

📸 We’ll be sharing more from behind the scenes throughout the weekend, so follow along to see the teams in action!

🤝 Safe travels to everyone making their way to Tāmaki Makaurau, and all the best to all the teams taking part!

Last weekend the team participated in the 2026 Wellington Relay for Life! Thank you to everyone who has supported our Relay for Life fundraising efforts! We've raised $4,864 so far towards vital cancer research and support all across Aotearoa New Zealand (and there is still time to donate)! 💚⛑️

Last week was a big one for the team!
- On the 18th of April we were out helping our friends Porirua City Council assess the state of flooding and checking in with affected
- A couple days after that we had teams both providing welfare support at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, and out in Lower Hutt supporting our friends at NZRT-18 Hutt City Emergency Response Team.
- In amongst all that we also got to celebrate something special; with team leader Andrew marking 10 years in the team to the day by spending it in the Porirua EOC acting as our liaison officer! While there'll likely be more celebrations from New Zealand Response Teams - NZRT later on, a surprise cake at training will do for now.
