What the Board will do:

• Undertake community planning for flooding, fires, extreme weather events and the possibility of

other coastal / natural hazards

• Support Civil Defence Emergency Management planning, particularly related towards potential

future management of displaced persons

• Partner with Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) to deliver community information sessions

• Improve relationships with local communities for knowledge-sharing about preparedness

• Support the resourcing and preparedness of local community hubs

• Advocate for investment in rooftop solar and battery storage across Council and community-owned

facilities to build energy resilience and support emergency response capability

We will measure our success by:

• Increase in the number of households with a personal emergency plan and supplies

• Number of facilities with activation plans identified as potential emergency hubs

• Community participation in coastal adaptation planning processes
