Manawatu-Wanganui Controller's Forum

From time-to-time the Group has a get together of its CDEM Controllers. This is an opportunity to focus on recent activities within the Group and at a national level that will impact on us during an emergency. This year, the Controller's Forum is scheduled for 1 March and will cover a wide range of topics for the local and Group Controllers, including:

• The new CDEM Group Plan - what's new, what's different?
• Triennial Business Plan - what are we going to do for the next three years?
• Public Education and Information Strategy and survey results
• AEGIS Map project (a joint project with Hawkes Bay)
• National Emergency Management Information System (to be rolled out this year)
• National Exercise Tangaroa (coming up later this year)
• Monitoring and Evaluation audit of the Group by MCDEM
• Administrative arrangements for welfare support during pandemic influenza (a new guide)

The forum is limited to Controllers and Emergency Managers from within the Group so that we can focus on specific detail of our Group and the Group's activities.
