Resolution number UH/2019/85 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson L Whyte, seconded by Member N Mayne: That the Upper Harbour Local Board: a) support the community values and priorities as identified within ‘Pathways to Preparedness: A Framework for Recovery’ as listed on page 4 of the document attached to the agenda report, and endorse the following themes that have been identified as part of consultation and discussion to date: i) the importance of retaining heritage (natural, built and cultural heritage) as part of recovery efforts following an emergency ii) the importance of ensuring that multiple avenues for communication and connection are restored and maintained, and that traditional and digital media formats and mechanisms are leveraged, which is particularly important to connect with diverse or ‘difficult to reach’ communities iii) the importance of getting key infrastructure, such as hospitals, utilities and community infrastructure, up and running quickly after an emergency iv) the importance of restoring and ensuring the safety of people and property as part of recovery efforts. b) support the recovery vision included within ‘Pathways to Preparedness: A Framework for Recovery’ as listed on page 5 of the document attached to the agenda report, being ‘Auckland’s people, communities, businesses and infrastructure are well-placed to recovery from disaster.’ c) support the definition within the planning framework of ‘well-placed’ meaning ‘well-prepared’, however: v) the framework contains limited information or detail as to how council and its partners will specifically work towards achieving this vision, and more importantly, what role local communities and local boards will have in that process. d) support in principle the partnership approach outlined within ‘Pathways to Preparedness: A Framework for Recovery’, but note the following issues and concerns: i) the planning framework contains a lack of detail as to how Auckland Emergency Management and the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group will actively use this framework to work with partners and community to support community action as part of pre-event planning or recovery ii) the planning framework mentions a 26-member Auckland Welfare Coordination Group as a key stakeholder, yet no detail is provided as to which organisations or entities comprise this group, and how this framework will engender improved communication and coordination of activities across the group, both in terms of pre-event planning or recovery iii) the planning framework mentions engagement with local boards as part of pre-event planning and recovery; however to date, local boards have had limited direct engagement or involvement in civil defence and emergency management planning or activities in their areas. e) request that ‘Pathways to Preparedness: A Framework for Recovery’ be amended to contain further clarity and detail as to the specific role expected of local boards as part of pre-event planning and recovery, given the leadership role local boards play within their communities. f) note that, although ‘Pathways to Preparedness: A Framework for Recovery’ hinges on identified community values and priorities, those actions listed within the ‘Actions to build momentum’ section of the planning framework contain little detail or specifics as to how local communities (and in turn local boards) will be able to contribute to the actions identified, as many of the actions are high level, provide no indication as to how such actions are to be achieved, and appear to be focused on Auckland Emergency Management or Civil Defence Emergency Management Group activities. |
