Selwyn District Council has an "all-hazards" approach to emergency management
The term "all-hazards" extends beyond traditional Civil Defence hazards, such as earthquakes , to include all major hazards, such as rural fires, bio-chemicals disasters, multi-faceted accidents and pandemic events.
The aim is to reduce the impact that a disaster will have by reducing the risk (preventing people building in flood zones), making sure the community is ready (at home emergency kits), response planning (helping those in need), and recovery to assist communities to help themselves get back on their feet as quickly as possible.
