This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
A new plan for managing emergencies in New Zealand may say which government agency is in charge for certain types of emergencies. This agency must be allowed by law to manage these emergencies or have the right skills to do so. You can think of it like a team effort, where the right agency leads the response to a particular emergency.

The national emergency management plan may identify a government agency as the lead agency for emergencies caused or contributed to by a particular hazard if the agency is authorised by legislation, or has the expertise, to manage the response to emergencies caused or contributed to by that hazard.
