Emergency Services

Life is not a risk-free activity, and New Zealand is particularly prone to geological and other natural hazards. Our civil defence and emergency services play important roles in ensuring that New Zealand has the level of preparedness and the capacity for response and recovery that are necessary for the country to be socially and economically resilient. Central and local government agencies work alongside voluntary and charitable organisations in designing, funding, coordinating and delivering these essential services.

MartinJenkins has worked with many of the key players in the emergency services sector across a wide range of assignments – the common thread has been helping to ensure that the right capabilities are in place so that services can respond when they are needed most.
