Description of the Revised Plan

The National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan (“the Plan”) sets out the hazards and risks to be managed at the national level, and the civil defence emergency management necessary to manage those hazards and risks. It also sets out the roles and responsibilities of central government, Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups and other agencies such as lifeline utilities, emergency services and non-government organisations.

The Plan has been in force since 1 July 2006. Under section 46 of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002, the Minister of Civil Defence must review the Plan every five years. The review commenced in 2010, and determined that, overall, the Plan was adequate, but a number of aspects could be improved.

The review was halted at the time of the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake to enable government to focus on the response to the earthquake and for reviews of the response to be carried out. The Plan has been revised to incorporate recommendations from the reviews, as well as advancements in national civil defence emergency management planning arrangements.

The Minister of Civil Defence welcomes written submissions from any person on the revised National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan.

Submissions should state which parts of the revised Plan are supported or opposed and the reasons for the support or opposition. Submissions may recommend specific alternatives to the provisions in the revised Plan.
