Why are we here?• “…improve and promote the sustainable
management of hazards (as that term is defined in this Act) in a way that contributes to the social, economic, cultural, and environmental well-being and safety of the public and also to the protection of property…”
– CDEM Act 2002

Supporting and Aligning with the National Vision

Community Response Planning
• Community led planning• Utilise existing networks – don’t try to create
new ones• Brings greater understanding of local hazards• “Capitalise” on disaster – but balance is key
– We are expecting more and more of community and volunteers.

• The list of emotions Cantabrians have been feeling since the earthquakes is extensive – from guilt, anxiety, despair and fatigue, to proud, lucky and stoked.
• Over 80% of respondents stated that their lives had changed significantly since the earthquakes.
• Almost a third stated the earthquakes had caused them financial problems.
• Almost two thirds were grieving for the ‘lost Christchurch’.• 64% of people said they felt guilty that other Cantabrians were more
affected by the earthquakes.• 84% were giving their time to support others.• Nearly a third of respondents felt connected to their neighbours with
another 42% feeling ‘a little’ connected.

Christchurch Community Response Planning Programme
• 2 phase approach• Capturing what communities have done in the
past• One size does not fit all
![Page 8: Building a City of Resilient Communities](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814ed0550346895dbc6d4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Front Runners• Currently have over 11 communities undertaking
CRP process• All CRPs identify: hazards, resources, roles, facilities • All identify communication method, e.g. newsletter,
facebook, information calendar• All identify leading group, organisation or individual• Leads vary from: residents associations, community
boards, NGO’s, individuals

Aranui Community Response Plan• Led by committee – consists of ACTIS (Aranui Community
Trust Inc Society), community board member, CCC community development staff member
• Focus on preparedness activities in their area, not just response
• Position descriptions• Hazard awareness• Warning and information systems• Key community stakeholders• Reliable information sources – CDHB, Police, MetService, etc.• Sectorised maps for door knocking

• Don’t try to solve all the problems yourself – focus on sustainability of the plan, e.g. funding, leadership
• Sometimes you need to be the “good cop”, sometimes you need to be the “bad cop”
• Under-promise and over-deliver
