Helping us make your community more resilient in an emergency
In June 2020, Fire and Emergency appointed 49 members to our first seven Local Advisory Committees (Northland, Tairāwhiti, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, Chatham Islands, West Coast and Otago).
Their purpose is to provide independent community-focussed strategic advice on local needs, issues and risks. Local Advisory Committees will help Fire and Emergency support their communities by providing a strong local perspective on what matters.
