The NZ Government’s Independent Inquiry into the Response to Cyclone Gabrielle, led by former Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae, featured FIRST72’s EPODs as a proven model for community resilience.
The Government Report recognised the impact of the 25 EPODs deployed to Wairoa communities just three days before Cyclone Gabrielle.
Since 2022, FIRST72 has helped 330+ communities across New Zealand prepare for emergency events.
We work with Government agencies of all shapes and sizes across New Zealand and beyond.
