Taskforce Kiwi on the ground help

Taskforce Kiwi

After a two-week stint helping clean up Wairoa’s flood-impacted area, the Taskforce Kiwi team has packed up and headed home.

Wairoa Mayor Craig Little extended a huge thanks to the team of volunteers who helped in the immediate response following the June flooding event.

“These volunteers were on the ground helping flood-impacted people, and their input was tremendous. We were fortunate to have two crews in Wairoa, with volunteers spending their time on the ground and helping wherever there was a need.

“On behalf of the Wairoa community, thank you so much to all the members of Taskforce Kwi for helping our town and our people.”

Established in 2022, Taskforce Kiwi is a not-for-profit group that utilises the skills and experience of former and serving defence and emergency services personnel to provide direct assistance to impacted communities before, during and after disasters.
