You could also call this:

"New Zealand's First Emergency Plan"

The Minister has to recommend that the Governor-General make the first national civil defence emergency management plan within 3 years of this Act starting. You can think of this plan as a set of rules to help keep people safe during emergencies. The Minister must do this by getting the Governor-General to make an Order in Council.

The Order in Council is a type of secondary legislation, which you can learn more about in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. This legislation explains how these types of orders are published. You can find the details of how this works by following the link.
