Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

When a proposal for a regional emergency management plan is being developed, you need to know that the Emergency Management Committee has some responsibilities. The Committee must talk to people from communities that might be badly affected in an emergency. They also have to work with and involve iwi and Māori representatives in their area. This is part of making a proposal for a regional emergency management plan.
