Auckland Region CDEM Group Plan
The Plan is a statutory requirement under the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Act which came into effect on 1 December, 2002. Auckland's plan came into effect in May 2005 and will be reviewed in 2010. The aim of the Plan is to provide for a co-ordinated and integrated approach to the way significant risks and hazards are managed. This will help ensure the community’s social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being as well as safety of people and property. The Plan sets the direction for civil defence and emergency management in the Auckland region.
Purpose
The broad purpose of this Plan is to enable the effective and efficient management of regionally significant hazards and risks.
This Plan provides for:
- Strengthening relationships
- Encouraging cooperation
- Seeking commitment to achieve better outcomes
Vision
The vision of this Plan is "A Resilient Auckland Region" and its mission is to create that resilience together. A resilient Auckland region is one where the community is prepared and bounces back quickly after a hazard event. This is vital in terms of Auckland’s social, economic, cultural and environmental sustainability.
