Emergency management in Christchurch is preparing for wildfires, 'spiky' temperatures and weather whiplash when El Nino peaks this summer.

Wildfires are a particular concern with emergency teams meeting today to discuss preparation. Christchurch City Council regional parks manager, Paul Devlin spoke to Lisa Owen.
