Hon KRIS FAAFOI: The response has been very well managed at a local, regional, and national level. The Canterbury regional civil defence emergency management group has been leading response efforts, and I would like to acknowledge the group controller, Neville Reilly, who has demonstrated calm and effective leadership on the ground, and acknowledge those who staffed emergency operation centres over the weekend and the beginning of this week. The National Emergency Management Agency national coordination centre remains activated in support of the response, alongside local coordination centres in Christchurch, Timaru, Ashburton, Selwyn, Mackenzie, and Waimakariri. I would also like to thank the Canterbury region mayors, who came together swiftly to work with the whole region over the weekend to plan for and respond to the flooding event.
