Message from the Minister of Civil Defence, Rick Barker.

The new Waitakere emergency operations centre (EOC) will serve as a model for future facilities throughout New Zealand.

The Get Ready, Get Thru Civil Defence website has now been translated into eight languages; Maori, Arabic, traditional and simplified Chinese script, Hindi, Korean, Samoan and Tongan.

We need to understand the environment, assess the risks, and plan for the inevitable. Good working relationships are critical in all phases of this process, and I see this Forum as contributing to the building of such relationships, and of a cohesive CDEM sector.
