CDEM Resilience Fund

Application information and previous recipients

The CDEM Resilience Fund enhances New Zealand’s hazard risk resilience through the development of local and regional capability and practices. The Resilience Fund aligns with CDEM Group Plans and the National Disaster Resilience Strategy (NDRS) priorities.

Funding will be provided to specific projects that improve emergency management capability and contribute to resilience.

The fund will support strategic targeting of investment in CDEM capability. The focus will be on areas that have the greatest benefit and that support a collaborative approach for the sector.

An external review of the Fund was carried out in September 2020. A joint working group of NEMA staff and CDEM Group representatives reviewed the recommendations and the Information Series document was updated.
