Auckland Emergency Management works in partnership with emergency services, lifeline utilities, and other organisations to coordinate Civil Defence and emergency management within our communities.  

Our vision is to strengthen the resilience of Tāmaki Makaurau by managing risks and empowering and supporting everybody to be ready to respond to and recover from emergencies.

Our aim is to: 

  • Understand Auckland's hazards and the risks they pose to our communities. 
  • Coordinate planning activities related to hazard and emergency management. 
  • Encourage cooperation between organisations involved in emergency response.
  • Help communities become more resilient to hazards and prepared for emergencies. 

 

What We Do 

We operate across the four different areas of emergency management, known as the 4 R’s – Reduction, Readiness, Response and Recovery.
