Hon KIERAN McANULTY: The 2018 ministerial review into better responses to natural disasters and other emergencies included a recommendation for a 24/7 emergency response monitoring system. The previous Minister, the Hon Kris Faafoi, made that commitment and found funding through the Budget, and the process was commenced. It was originally planned to be completed by 2024, but due to the hard work of the NEMA team, that has been brought forward by two years, ahead of schedule and on budget.
