Recovery Workshops

Introduction

The workshops will contribute to the development of the Recovery Preparedness and Management Director’s Guideline. The workshops will provide an opportunity to share experience and knowledge from a wide variety of recovery practitioners and sectors, and expand the recovery community.

The Director’s Guideline will focus on operational aspects of recovery management, such as pre-emergency operational planning, emergency-specific recovery planning, roles and responsibilities during recovery, and monitoring and evaluation.

It is an exciting opportunity to apply the learnings New Zealand has experienced from real events over the past 10 years and build these into a helpful, useable and fit-for-purpose Director’s Guideline.

Audience

People with experience of planning for, managing or researching recovery from emergencies at local, regional or national level from a broad range of areas including CDEM Groups, local authorities, iwi, lifeline utilities, private sector, government agencies and departments, non-for profit groups and researchers.

Requirements

The interactive workshops will primarily be a series of group discussions focused on refining the scope and content of the Director’s Guideline, collating and agreeing good recovery practices to both prepare for and manage recovery, and identifying supporting material. They will build on the work done to date. Attendees will be encouraged to share their recovery experience and knowledge, including case studies or examples of approaches that have worked well and lessons learned to improve recovery preparedness and management.
