As relief pours into Kaikoura the only thought on many locals minds is escape. Something made possible by the tireless work NZ Army Movement Operators and RNZAF helicopters. In 2016 the small township of Kaikoura and surrounding region found themselves cut off from all support following one of New Zealands strongest recorded earthquakes in recent history. The New Zealand Defence Force, Emergency services and other agencies mobilised immediately to provide humanitarian aid and disaster relief to the people in the stricken and isolated region.
