About the Conference
The theme for the conference was 'Building Safe and Resilient Communities: The Future of the Emergency Management System'.
This theme was reflected throughout the conference; day one dedicated to providing a platform for gaining Māori and indigenous perspectives on emergency management, bringing together Māori experts and leaders, practitioners and volunteers, and those interested in supporting improved emergency management outcomes for Māori.
Days two and three built on this through plenary and breakout sessions, that explored how we the emergency management sector work together – through partnerships, co-creation, and collective effort, across a broad range of organisations, sectors, and communities – to support improved emergency management outcomes for individuals and communities.
