Local Advisory Committees help us make your community more resilient in an emergency

Last year, in June we appointed 49 members to our first seven Local Advisory Committees (LACs) in
Northland, Tairāwhiti, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough, Chatham Islands, West Coast and Otago.

LACs’ purpose is to provide independent community-focussed strategic advice on local needs, issues and risks. LACs will help
Fire and Emergency support their communities by providing a strong local perspective on what matters.

Reflecting the diversity of community voices

This historic whakatauki is offered up to represent the diversity of voices and reminds us that it 
takes a multitude of voices to create harmony.
