Civil Defence Emergency Management Group
What is the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group (CDEMG)?
All of the seven councils in the Bay of Plenty make up the Bay
of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management Group (BOP CDEMG).
The aim of the BOP CDEMG is to:
- Coordinate all planning activities related to hazard and
emergency management;
- Encourage cooperation and joint action within the region;
- Determine the aspirations of our community; and
- Examine the risks that hazards may pose to the goals, and
prioritise each hazard.
Role:
- To provide a coordinated and integrated approach to the way
significant risks and hazards are managed in the Bay of Plenty
across the 4R's:
- Reduction
- Readiness
- Response
- Recovery
The governance of the Group is provided by a joint committee of
elected representatives from Bay of Plenty Regional Council, city
and district councils in the Bay of Plenty (except Taupo District
Council).
