Whether you’re a school, healthcare provider, church, community group, non-profit, or government department, your ability to respond effectively during a disaster is essential to protecting lives and property, maintaining critical services, and supporting the wider community.
Our tailored emergency preparedness solutions and services help organisations prepare for the unique challenges they face. For example:
In addition to our products, we offer a range of support services to help organisations prepare and respond. These include emergency planning workshops, staff training, and ongoing support to update and refine your preparedness strategies. From grab bags to workplace emergency kits, FIRST72 provides the tools, services, and expertise your organisation needs to continue making a difference when it matters most.
FIRST72 are New Zealand emergency experts.
Over the past 4 years, we have worked with 11 NZ Government agencies to deliver community resilience projects, supply critical communications and emergency equipment, provide strategic emergency preparedness advice and contribute to NZ’s emergency management policy and legislative reform.
Our EPODs were also featured in the NZ Government’s Independent Inquiry into the 2023 North Island Severe Weather Events Response, led by former Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae.
We understand how Government works, and how to deliver in partnership with it.
