Resolution
number HB/2019/118
MOVED by Chairperson J Parfitt, seconded by Member C
Watson:
That the Hibiscus
and Bays Local Board:
a)
provide the following feedback on the draft Pathways to
Preparedness: A Planning Framework for Recovery:
General
i)
support the intention to prepare a
Framework with an objective to improve our preparedness to recover from a
disaster
ii) seek
that the Pathways to Preparedness: A Planning Framework for Recovery (the
Framework) includes a section to define the audience of the document is as
this is unclear
iii) acknowledge that the Hibiscus and Bays area has individual
community groups with their own values relating to disaster recovery
and individual group values are not well expressed or considered
in the Framework.
iv) seek
that local communities are involved in the value setting for the Framework to
create a document that has more meaning to local communities
v)
consider that community groups consulted
as part of the consultation around the draft Framework are not representative
of the wider Hibiscus and Bays community and seek that additional
consultation be undertaken as part of the further development of the
Framework
vi) requests
that a more thorough Introduction be written for the Framework to clearly
define the purpose of the document and how it will be used, and by whom
vi) seek that the Framework be updated to remove references to
confusing terms such as ‘disaster’, ‘emergency’,
‘hazard’, and ‘risk’ and that all are replaced with
the single term ‘disaster’
viii) seek
that the document be written and aligned with the Council style guide and
“Our Voice” to improve its readability for the general public
Vision
ix) consider
that recovery is not rapid and any comments about infrastructure needing to
be regenerated within a short period of time is inaccurate. Repairs may be
needed to re-establish connections in infrastructure in the early stages of
recovery, however regeneration can take significantly longer
x) consider
that the definition of recovery in the Framework needs to be amended to
exclude immediate emergency response efforts and that the Framework should
only focus on longer term community recovery after emergency response is
complete
xi) seek
that the community recovery priorities are developed further with Hibiscus
and Bays communities to develop meaningful priorities and acknowledge that
community recovery priorities will change depending on the type and scale of
disaster, and which community groups are most affected by the disaster
xii) seek
further detail in the Framework outlining communication pathways, challenges
and objectives as communication will be a major component of a successful
recovery however there is little detail regarding communication and how this
will be managed effectively
xiii) request
that early recovery should be removed from the Framework as the community
does not need to understand emergency response as these tasks are managed by
Auckland Council Civil Defence and Emergency Management
xiv) seek
that the term ‘super diversity’ be amended to a term that is more
readily understandable to the general public
xv) seek
an amendment to the section Partnership Approach so that there is a clear
separation from the restoration of infrastructure and key facilities from
community facilities as these have different recovery priorities
Partnerships
xvi) seek
that the Framework clarify how it sits alongside Auckland Council Civil
Defence and Emergency Management and their 5 R’s, one of which is
‘recovery’
xvii) seek
that an explanation be provided in the Framework for how collaborations
across formal and informal partnerships were used in the development of the
Framework
xviii) seek that
the Effective Recovery section be expanded to include items that would
directly affect or include local boards and their work programmes, and how
officers prioritise assets operations and renewals during recovery
Actions
xix) seek
that the Framework be updated under Actions to Build Momentum section to
include local board work programmes and how local boards can support Auckland
Emergency Management
xx) seek
that Opportunities outlined in the Framework are succinct and exclude
narratives
xxi) seek
that Actions outlined in the Framework detail specific desired outputs or
outcomes and go further than high level statements
xxii) seek
that the Actions are prioritised as referred to at the beginning of the
Framework.
