    Welcome

 
Welcome to the web site of Upper Hutt Community Rescue.  We provide a trained rescue and first aid response capability to the Upper Hutt and greater Wellington Community by assisting professional organisations in the event of a civil disaster as required in rescue and first aid.  To achieve this we train regularly, seek funding to increase our equipment store, provide service to our community and have fun.  

Team Deploys to Christchurch along with Lower Hutt. The teams main role was been working street by street clearing houses, making certain no persons have been left behind, alive or otherwise. They were also supporting the engineers assessing the damage, making certain they can do so in safety.
Team returns to Christchurch. Having linked up again with the Lower Hutt team, NZRT9 was supporting engineers as they painstakingly assess the state of houses. They look for the booby traps left in collapsing homes, their primary role the safety of the engineers. These are yellow sticker houses; do they leave them as yellow, or are they upgraded to red? You never know what you’re going to find, and we’re an extra pair of eyes and ears on the ground. We keep them out of trouble.
