EPODs are designed to support your community to become self-sufficient in the critical hours, days and weeks following an emergency or disaster.
Our EPODs are designed to comprehensively prepare your community and make you more resilient to future emergency events.

Developed in NZ, our SMART EPODs are a world-leading, off-grid solution designed to support isolated, rural and vulnerable communities in their independent response to emergencies and disasters.
Trusted. Reliable. Proven.
Tested in real-world emergencies, our BASE EPODs help build disaster resilience and make communities self-sufficient in their response to emergency events.
The EPOD at Moeraki Marae in Dunedin is an invaluable resource, ensuring our community’s safety, resilience, and independence during emergencies. It enables the Marae to serve as a hub for essential supplies, education, and support, empowering whānau and visitors alike in times of need. This taonga reflects the values of manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga, strengthening our ability to care for our people and uphold our traditions.
Marae have become local emergency response centres after a number of natural disasters, in some cases feeding a thousand people a day. The EPODs are a way to enhance our emergency response preparedness. We want to empower our people to offer support and manaaki to whānau and the community during emergency events. This is such important mahi as it highlights the importance of emergency preparedness in our Ngāi Tahu Takiwā
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.
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.
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.
To be self-sufficient, to have communications and to be able to provide power, means we don’t have to wait – we’ve got this
