Welcome - thanks for joining us!

The National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC) is a facility established by the Government to enable the national coordination and management of the response to and recovery from emergencies. The NCMC is located in the sub-basement of the Beehive in Wellington.  There may be times when this facility is not available/able to be used (eg. a large earthquake that affects Wellington) and so an Alternative NCMC facility has been identified at the Ellerslie Events Centre in Auckland (known as the Alternative NCMC).

     If you are going to be working in a coordination centre within this function, then this is the training for you.  The aim of the training is to assist new and experienced Planning staff, with some or little experience, to gain the confidence to work in this function during a response to an emergency event.  We have developed a pathway to help ensure you have the appropriate skills, knowledge, tools and relationships to effectively manage Planning in a response.

This course has been developed for staff and volunteers who will work in a civil defence centre as a supervisor. Participants will learn key skills and processes needed to care for the public and lead a team of workers during an emergency response. This course combines both online and in person training to ensure that participants are ready to respond during any civil defence emergency.

This one day course will guide participants on the roles and responsibilities of the Operations Function in a Coordination Centre.

Serving our community when crisis happens is both a privilege and can be challenging.

This course will help you to understand all of the role in and processes that are key to working in a Civil Defence Centre.  Centres can evolve from emergencies quickly and move from a  Community Hub model or Civil Defence Centre.   Understanding the types of centres, the interagency connections and how best to layout a centre are essential to managing a centre.

This online module is an introduction to Emergency Management.  

It provides contextual information for all those starting their journey in Emergency Management and is suitable as a starting block for further Emergency Management learning.

This online course is a series of YouTube videos created by our partner agencies (Geonet and MetService) to provide information to the natural hazards that New Zealand is particularly prone to: Volcanic activity, Earthquakes, Floods, Tsunami and Severe Weather.

Coming to work in the HCC Emergency Operations Centre? Complete the online induction before your first shift so you know what to expect when coming into the EOC and learn some of the basics of how we work. 

Welcome to the Hamilton City Council Emergency Operations Centre Orientation page.  

Here you can sign up to one of the monthly EOC orientations held at the HCC Emergency Operations Centre on level 2 of the Genesis Building at 94 Bryce Street. Inductions are held on the first Wednesday of every month (except for January) and will only take 1 hour. You will have needed to complete the online ITF Foundation course before signing up for this course (see the sidebar for the link). 

The orientation will give you the chance to get to know the layout of the EOC, how to set it up in an emergency and meet your Emergency Management Officers. You will also get the chance to ask any questions you have about civil defence, emergency responses or anything else you are curious about in the Emergency Management realm. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
