Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN (Minister for Emergency Management): On 2 May, I announced nine regional initiatives to strengthen community resilience to emergencies through the Civil Defence Emergency Management Resilience Fund. The range of projects supported includes projects in resilience to rain events in Tai Rāwhiti, a coastal community resilience guide for the Chatham Islands, earthquake education kits in Hawke's Bay, a regional resilience analysis for Marlborough, a coastal community resilience guide for the Chatham Islands, and the continuation of a programme in Nelson Tasman and Marlborough to bring together the eight mana whenua to strengthen Māori planning and preparation for emergencies. Each of the initiatives is strongly focused on futureproofing regional emergency management arrangements and making resilience more inclusive for businesses and communities.
