“The team at FIRST72 were fantastic to work with. We approached them with a challenge, and they came back with an excellent solution. Their advice was expert, the communication was prompt and clear, and they even offered thoughtful suggestions beyond what we expected. The final package was well put together, presented professionally, and well received at our end. Thanks again for the outstanding support!”

EPOD has provided exceptional customer service from concept to on-time delivery of 25 x Resilience Emergency Pods for the Wairoa district. The communities will benefit enormously from this initiative for years to follow as our area is prone to climate change and isolation in the event of a natural disaster that unfortunately eventuated recently with Cyclone Gabrielle. I would definitely recommend their services to others because of their professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to community projects.

Partnering with FIRST72 and EPOD is essential for safeguarding our whānau. By combining our traditional knowledge with pre-positioned approaches, we can enhance our preparedness for natural disasters and protect our communities.

The EPODs generously provided by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Te Puni Kōkiri has given the Marae and local community the ability to be prepared to deal with any natural disaster. Having it onsite gives peace of mind that appropriate resources are readily available to be utilised when needed.
