Better Responses to Natural Disaters and other Emergencies
Alan Thompson made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The request was refused by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
From: Alan Thompson
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
In early June 2017 the Minister for CD commissioned a review and report to address "Better Responses to natural disasters and other emergencies". This was as a consequence of apparent repeated and systemic failures impacting the response to major civil defence related emergencies. These included ChCh Earthquake, Pike River, Kaikoura Earthquake, and the Port Hills Fires.
The review team were tasked in the Terms of Reference to report to the Minister no later than 3 months from the date of the TOR.
Under the provisions of the Official Information Act I request the following information:
1. Copies of all the written submission tabled to the Review Team.
2. A copy of the final report as tabled to the Minister.
Thank you.
