Government Departments

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata

building resilient communities

Fostering a nationwide culture of preparedness and resilience.

When a significant emergency or disaster occurs, we understand that NEMA, Civil Defence & emergency services will be inundated helping the people that need it the most.

That’s why fostering a sense of preparedness & resilience at  community and organisational levels is fundamental to reducing the negative impacts of severe events and improving outcomes for our people.

New Zealand’s emergency management system needs to encourage people to make their own decisions, take ownership, and ultimately be prepared to survive on their own for at least 7 days. 

The Government plays a fundamental role in shaping the future of our country and empowering our people to face any crisis head on. 

With your support, we can together build a safer and stronger  future for Aotearoa New Zealand.
