Comms to Chatham Islands
Harwood Wilson made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
The request was successful.
From: Harwood Wilson
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
Please provide the following information relating to communications between comms centers and the Chatham Islands.
1. How are the Chatham Island brigade dispatched for incidents in terms of station alert and pager?
2. What contingency plans are in place if either of the first methods of dispatch fails?
3. What types of FENZ voice communications channels do you have between the Chatham Island vehicles and comms centers? please give reasonable information on how they work
4. Are there any other types of non FENZ communications channels available to the Chatham Island vehicles to communicate back to the comms centers?, please provide a response on your contingency plans regardless of who the provider might be.
5. Given that I believe the Chatham Islands is now dispatched from the main land, is there any capacity for 111 calls from the Chatham's to be handled locally? Although you are not responsible for the Spark aspect of routing 111 calls, please provide a response on your contingency plans.
Yours faithfully,
Harwood Wilson
