Emergency
Support Recruitment Campaign
File No.: CP2017/17476
Purpose
1. To
inform the committee about a recruitment campaign, being run within Auckland
Council, that aims to increase the number of emergency support personnel who
can respond in the event of an emergency.
Executive
summary
2. During a large-scale emergency the Auckland Emergency Management
team will need support from the wider council family to help coordinate the
response. Employees that volunteer to assist are referred to as Auckland
Council Emergency Support (ACES) staff.
3. Auckland Emergency Management is currently running a recruitment campaign aimed at significantly increasing the number of ACES
available to the department.
4. After
the recruitment campaign, a structured training and exercise programme will be
implemented. This will provide the ACES with the necessary training
and practice they need to be able to work effectively in the emergency
coordination centre.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Civil Defence and
Emergency Management Group Committee:
a) note the contents of this report.
|
Comments
5. During
a civil defence emergency the structure of the Emergency Coordination Centre
(ECC) at Bledisloe House is comprised of several key functions that work
together to provide direction and control to the response. These functions
include Control, Planning/Intelligence, Operations, Logistics, Public
Information and Welfare. These functions are also supported by a Chief of
Staff, Recovery Manager, Personal Assistants, Technical, Legal, Staff Wellbeing
and Health and Safety experts.
6. During
large scale or ongoing emergency events the Auckland Emergency Management team
may need support from the wider council family to help staff these functions.
Employees who volunteer to assist during these events are referred to as
Auckland Council Emergency Support (ACES) staff.
7. Experience
from recent events such as the Kaikoura earthquake in November 2016 and the
Auckland storm events of March and April 2017 has reinforced the need to have
an appropriate number of suitably trained and qualified staff to provide
additional capability and capacity should this be required.
8. Auckland
Emergency Management is currently running a recruitment campaign for new
volunteers. Four one-hour induction sessions are being run on Thursday 31
August and Thursday 7 September to inform staff about emergency management,
increase awareness, encourage involvement in the ACES programme and to provide
the opportunity for staff to ask questions of function managers and existing
ACES.
9. Following
the recruitment campaign, a structured training programme will be implemented.
This will provide the ACES with the necessary training and practice they need
to be able to work effectively in the ECC. The training programme is comprised
of modules run across foundation, intermediate and advanced levels.
10. Over
the next 12 months ACES can expect to receive approximately three full days of
training including at least one exercise, be sent regular communications that
outline events and training opportunities, join an exclusive bus tour to visit
Auckland Emergency Management’s alternate ECC and learn about
Auckland’s hazards, participate in real events and be presented with
certificates by senior leaders.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
11. There
are no local board implications arising from this report.
Māori
impact statement
12. There
are no implications for Maori arising from this report.
Implementation
13. The
recruitment campaign commenced on 7 August with internal communications across
various channels such as Kotahi, various staff update emails, digi-screens and
posters.
14. On
Thursday 31 August and Thursday 7 September Auckland Emergency Management will
be running four one-hour induction sessions to encourage staff to be involved
in the ACES programme. Employees who wish to become ACES will be registered at
these induction sessions.
15. After the recruitment campaign, a structured training programme will
be implemented. Training is set to commence immediately after the recruitment
campaign and the number of courses will be dictated by the number of ACES that
sign up.
16. Training attended by each individual will be monitored through a
competency based tracking system.

Public Alerting Framework: update and next steps
File No.: CP2017/17478
Purpose
1. To
provide an update on the Public Alerting Framework for Auckland and to outline
the next steps for project.
Executive
summary
2. In
February 2017 the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Committee
endorsed the draft Public Alerting Framework for Auckland.
3. Following
on from this, crown research agency, GNS Science was commissioned to provide an
analysis of those communities most at risk from tsunami within the orange and
red tsunami evacuation zones.
4. The
results of this report and the Public Alerting Framework are currently being
presented to local boards and will continue though until October. At this stage
Auckland Emergency Management is asking local boards for in-principle support
for the Public Alerting Framework and an enhanced tsunami siren network.
5. Next
steps involve formal procurement and design into tsunami sirens and signage
vendor options, with the request for tender going out to potential candidates
in due course. Auckland Emergency Management will provide an update to
the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Committee including next steps
in due course.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Civil Defence and
Emergency Management Group Committee:
a) note
the updates and next steps for the Public Alerting Framework for Auckland.
|
Comments
6. In February 2017 the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group
Committee endorsed the draft Public Alerting Framework for Auckland for
consultation with local boards. The framework was designed to:
· explain
what public alerting in a Civil Defence and Emergency Management sense is,
· what it
can and cannot do;
· give
detail on the range of channels for public alerting currently available in
Auckland;
· highlight
the advances being taken with regards to public alerting at a national level;
· provide
some commentary on tsunami sirens, their uses and limitations; and
· assist
with decisions taken by the Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management
Group Committee, local boards and partners and stakeholders with regards to the
prioritisation of budgets and options for enhancing public alerting across the
Auckland region.
The Public Alerting
Framework endorses a regionally consistent public alerting approach. The
framework includes an assessment of public alerting options currently
available, and those such as cell broadcasting that will be rolled out in the
near future. This assessment highlighted a gap with regard to a regional
network of tsunami sirens, currently there are only 44 sirens in 9 locations
across Rodney and Waitakere. Budget has been allocated within the Long Term
Plan for an enhanced and expanded regional tsunami early warning system.
7. In May 2017, to better understand the exposure of Auckland
communities to tsunami risk, Auckland Emergency Management commissioned crown
research agency GNS Science, to conduct an analysis of the at-risk populations
in the orange and red tsunami evacuation zones. This analysis is being used as
the basis for local board engagement and is being shared, along with the Public
Alerting Framework, at local board workshops. Auckland Emergency
Management is seeking ‘in principle support’ of the Public Alerting
Framework and of an enhanced regional tsunami siren network at local meeting
meetings. This engagement will continue through until October.
8. Auckland Emergency Management has prioritised this project for
delivery. A working group with wide expertise has been formed and
engagement with a number of external parties is ongoing.
9. The project has the potential to achieve a number of significant
outcomes, not least lifting awareness surrounding hazards and risks, disaster
preparedness, and improved signage including road markings where appropriate.
Public engagement and education activities will be prioritised through the
delivery of this project to ensure maximum outcomes are achieved.
10. At the Coordinating Executive Group on 10 August 2017 the following organisations
agreed to support the project and join an external working group to ensure its
delivery: Fire and Emergency New Zealand, Health CEG, and the Ministry of Civil
Defence.
Next steps
11. Next
steps involve formal procurement and design into tsunami sirens and signage
vendor options, with the request for tender going out to potential candidates
in due course. An update will be provided to the Civil Defence and
Emergency Management Group Committee, including next steps, in due course.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
12. Following
discussions with local boards in 2016, Auckland Emergency Management created
the Public Alerting Framework. This document and the GNS Science report is
currently being used as the basis of local board workshop discussions, with
more detailed information regarding design, procurement and next steps to be
presented to local boards at formal business meetings. From these
workshops, Auckland Emergency Management is asking for in-principle support for
a regionally consistent public alerting system which includes an enhanced
tsunami siren system for Auckland.
Māori
impact statement
13. There are no
particular impacts on Māori arising from this report. The Public
Alerting Framework for Auckland notes the importance of community resilience
and having systems in place to ensure that public alert messages are understood
and ubiquitous. Any requirements to consult with Mana Whenua on, for example,
the placement of tsunami sirens will be reported to this committee as
appropriate.
Implementation
14. It is expected that once consultation with local boards is
complete that advice on the next steps for this project including its
implementation will be brought back to this committee.

Strategic Planning for Recovery: Director’s
Guideline
File No.: CP2017/17483
Purpose
1. To
provide information on the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency
Management’s draft Strategic Planning for Recovery Director’s Guideline.
This report also seeks delegation to the Chair and Deputy Chair to finalise and
approve the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Committee’s
submission on the draft document.
Executive
summary
2. Draft
guidance on the recovery planning required under the Civil
Defence Emergency Management Amendment Act 2016 has been released for
consultation with CDEM Groups.
3. It is recommended that delegated authority is granted to the
Chair and Deputy Chair to finalise and approve the Civil Defence and Emergency
Management Group Committee’s submission on the draft
document.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Civil Defence and
Emergency Management Group Committee:
a) note
the contents of this report and the draft Strategic Planning for Recovery
Director’s Guideline;
b) delegate
authority to the Chair and Deputy Chair to finalise and approve the Civil
Defence and Emergency Management Group Committee’s submission on the
draft document.
|
Comments
4. The
Civil Defence Emergency Management Amendment Act 2016 introduced a requirement
on CDEM Groups to state and provide for strategic planning for recovery from
the hazards and risks in their CDEM Group Plan by 1 June 2018.
5. The
Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) has recently
released some draft guidance (Attachment A) on this new requirement.
MCDEM is seeking feedback and input on the guidance from CDEM Groups.
6. In
line with this committee’s role in ‘approving relevant policy and
legislative submissions to external bodies’ it is recommended that
delegated authority is granted to the Chair and Deputy Chair to finalise and
approve Auckland’s submission by the deadline of 22 September 2017.
Strategic Planning for
Recovery Director’s Guideline
7. The
draft director’s guideline on recovery planning has been designed to help
CDEM Groups meet legislative requirements introduced under the Civil Defence
Emergency Management Amendment Act 2016 to state and provide for strategic
planning for recovery from the hazards and risks identified in Group
Plans.
8. The
guideline notes that recovery is a complex part of emergency management in
terms of scale, range of activities and duration. It states that the
impacts of recovery on CDEM Groups and local authorities can be significant,
even for small emergencies. Recovery management, the guideline states,
goes well beyond the ‘business-as-usual’ of local authorities, and
involves collaboration of multiple stakeholders across the social, economic,
built and natural environments.
9. The
Amendment Act 2016 recognises that the focus to date has largely been on
preparing for and responding to emergencies. The Act recognises the need to
emphasise the importance of recovery preparedness. The guidance notes
that establishing the right capacity and capability, collaborative
relationships and leadership prior to an emergency enable these to be applied
as necessary to the specific recovery event.
10. This new legislative requirement was anticipated by Auckland Emergency
Management during the development of the Auckland CDEM Group Plan in
2016. Hazards and risks have been identified and specific actions with
regards to recovery planning such as the development and implementation of the
Natural Hazards Risk Management Action Plan and of the Resilient Recovery
Strategy have been included.

Reduction which was held in May 2017.
3. The
Global Platform is the main forum at the global level for strategic advice,
coordination, partnership development and the review of progress in the
implementation of the international Sendai Framework.
4. New
Zealand has made a number of commitments under the Sendai Framework presenting
an opportunity to review the country’s current strategic direction. The
review of the national CDEM Strategy will result in the development of a new
National Disaster Resilience Strategy which, when implemented, will demonstrate
New Zealand’s progress over time towards the priorities of the framework.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Civil Defence and Emergency
Management Group Committee:
a) receive
the report and presentation.
|
Comments
5. The
2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction was held in Mexico on 22
– 26 May and was the first meeting of the signatories to the 2015 Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction agreement.
6. New
Zealand attended the Global Platform with representatives from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency
Management, non-governmental organisations, academic institutions and local
government.
7. The
Global Platform is the primary forum at the global level for strategic advice,
coordination, partnership development and the review of progress in the
implementation of the international Sendai Framework.
8. New
Zealand made a commitment to the framework which states that within 15 years
the country will ‘seek to achieve the substantial reduction of
disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health in the economic,
physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses,
communities and countries’.
9. New
Zealand, led by the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, is
currently examining current progress and considering where efforts could be
better targeted to yield the greatest benefit across the four priority areas of
the Framework:
i. Understanding
disaster risk;
ii. Strengthening
disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk;
iii. Investing in disaster
risk reduction for resilience; and
iv. Enhancing disaster
preparedness for effective response and to ‘Build Back Better’ in
recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
10. The national
CDEM strategy, developed in 2008, is currently under review to better align to
the commitment New Zealand made to the Sendai Framework. Currently the Ministry
of Civil Defence & Emergency Management are in Phase 3 (out of 6) which is
about wider consultation and testing/verifying concepts to produce the first
draft of the new ‘National Disaster Resilience Strategy’ which will
guide New Zealand’s progress towards the priorities of the Sendai
Framework set out above.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
11. Local board
views were not sought for the development of this report; however, local boards
have been invited to participate in the consultation and engagement of the new
National Disaster Resilience Strategy.
Māori
impact statement
12. Auckland
Emergency Management’s Māori Responsiveness Plan, which is directly
aligned to Auckland’s Group Plan, provides a framework to engage,
communicate and consult with manu whenua and mataawaka. The plan will be
the main driver to ensure that the department is able to support Māori
communities to develop their strengths across risk reduction, readiness,
response and recovery.
13. During phase
3 of the development of the new National Disaster Resilience Strategy an
external Project Reference Group will be established and will begin initiating
a kāhu/hui to develop a Māori Resilience Framework.
Implementation
14. The
implementation of the new National Disaster Resilience Strategy is outlined
below:

nationally.

Comments
5. The Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management
Group Committee draft forward work programme (‘the programme’)
focuses on strategy and policy development, strategic initiatives and projects
that support the committee’s requirement to provide strategic direction
to the Coordinating Executive Group (CEG). The programme has been drafted
from actions from Auckland’s Group Plan and also includes activities of
national significance.
6. The programme signals when key reports and items are
likely to be put on both CEG and committee agendas for endorsement and/or
approval. The programme includes an overview of legislative requirements,
the actions required from both the CEG and committee, budget allocation, and
dates for the reporting of activities to meetings.
7. It is recommended that the work programme becomes a
standing agenda item at future committee meetings to help monitor key
activities and deliverables. This will ensure the programme remains
forward focused and can take into account any additions that may arise either
regionally or nationally.
8. The
draft programme was endorsed by the CEG at its meeting on 10 August 2017.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
9. The programme has been developed primarily from
actions contained within Auckland’s Group Plan. Local boards were
engaged and consulted through the development of this plan and contributed
towards the final document.
10. In addition, some
of the projects and strategic initiatives in the programme will require
engagement with local boards, for example, Auckland’s Public Alerting
Framework.
