Group web site

Work has begun on the development of a CDEM Group web site. At the last EMO meeting, we talked about what this might look like. I outlined some of my ideas for a site, received some feedback and ideas from the EMOs, and told the team that we have some in-house expertise working on how we can achieve this.

Typically, web sites push information to people... we want to get clever and provide a push/pull element to the Group site. This means that regular visitors to the site can set up pages with information that they want to see. Hopefully this will help create site loyalty to the CDEM Group site. Users of Google homepages will be familiar with the pull features provided by Google. We are pretty confident we can do this for minimal cost.

We've had a bit of a look around at the other sites in New Zealand and... to be honest, they're really boring!!! (ours included). Now I might be a somewhat frustrated designer but I'm sure we can do better. First up, the address: ours is www.mwcdemg.govt.nz (WOW) and several of the local councils sites have emergency management pages too. How about some feedback on the following options:

• www.EMNet.govt.nz
• www.EM.govt.nz
• www.CDNet.govt.nz, or
• www.reallygoodemergencyinformation.govt.nz (said with a Jeremy Clarkson tone), or...
  
• www.EMIntelligence.govt.nz

So gone on... post some feedback.
