Kia ora Mr/Ms Jones

 

In our letter dated 25 February 2022 we advised of an extension of time to
make a decision on your requests. One of your requests was for:

 

…all emails, advice, guidance, strategies, doctrine, procedures, plans,
memorandums, noting papers, public health guidance/advice, meeting
minutes, diagrams, scenarios, photos or other documentation specifically
relating Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s planning for managing the
impacts of the COVID Omicron variant. This includes planning and
procurement of personal protective equipment

 

This request covers a broad range of types of information. We have
identified key documents that we can release to you that we believe
explain how Fire and Emergency has responded to the omicron variant. These
include: National Notices, meeting minutes and COVID-19 Protection
Protocol Documents.

 

Unfortunately, because of the extent of the types of information you have
requested, the work to identify all documents potentially within the scope
of such a broad request would be significant. However, it may be that the
documents we have identified above would answer your request. If you can
identify more particularly other information you are seeking (for example
by limiting the date range or type of information), we can consider
whether there is other information that we can identify without
substantial collation and research.

 

Please can you get back to us and let us know whether you would like to
refine your request for additional documents. Alternatively, we can
finalise our response and you can make a further request for information
once you have seen the documents we will be releasing.

Ngâ mihi
