Coordination and management

Lessons learnt about the need for future improvements

For the Manawatu-Wanganui region recovery was coordinated through the regional council’s new CDEM Group arrangements under the provisions of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act (CDEM Act) 2002

For the other territorial authorities the event was managed through their Civil Defence Act 1983 arrangements

A source of frustration for utility companies in the Manawatu flood event according to AELG (2005) was the time taken to develop an understanding with the Regional Council about emergency actions that would cover all situations under the Resource Management Act

The road funding authority, Transfund, should ideally become involved as early as possible following a disaster since Transfund has direct access to government funds. However this was not the case
