The Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan for Taranaki was approved by the Taranaki Civil Defence Emergency Management Group on 19 June 2018, to take effect on 19 June 2018 and remain in force until 18 June 2023. DATED at ___________ this ____________ day of ____________, 2018 SIGNED by the following members of the Taranaki Civil Defence Emergency Management Group: SIGNED for and on behalf of _____________________________________ STRATFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL Signature _____________________________________ Print Name SIGNED for and on behalf of _____________________________________ SOUTH TARANAKI DISTRICT COUNCIL Signature _____________________________________ Print Name SIGNED for and on behalf of _____________________________________ NEW PLYMOUTH DISTRICT COUNCIL Signature _____________________________________ Print Name SIGNED for and on behalf of _____________________________________ TARANAKI REGIONAL COUNCIL Signature _____________________________________ Print Name Foreword I am very pleased to present the Taranaki Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan 2018- 2023, the third for the Taranaki CDEM Group. Recent regional and national events have continued to remind us that our region is vulnerable to geological, climatic, and technological disruptions. This Plan sets out how we seek to address the exposure, by enhancing our ability to prepare and to cope. The Civil Defence Emergency Management sector (CDEM) is in the process of transformation in Taranaki. The Taranaki CDEM Joint Committee agreed in 2017 to invest in growing the capacity of the CDEM sector across the ‘4 R’s of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery, this included increasing staff numbers at the Group Office level and the development of Emergency Operation Centres at District Council level. Tom Cloke Due to the transitional nature of moving from a centralised system of Chairperson CDEM delivery to a more devolved system, many of the statements Taranaki CDEM Joint Committee about how agencies will work together in this Group Plan will be developed in more detail over the next 12 months, to then be put into effect. More detail about specific actions and protocols will be included in plans and standard operating procedures that are to be developed over the period of this Group Plan. While this Plan sets out how the members of the Taranaki CDEM Group and of the wider CDEM organisation in Taranaki will seek to deliver their emergency management function, in the end our communal resilience will only be as good as the readiness of each individual, community sector and agency within the region. The Taranaki CDEM Group looks forward to working with you towards a better prepared and more secure Taranaki. Figure 1 Taranaki CDEM Group vision and Strategy.

  • Preventing a Second Wave of COVID-19 in Taranaki
    Preventing a second wave of COVID-19 in Taranaki Shamini Mahadevan, Jacob Manning Final-year Medical Students 29/04/2020 ABSTRACT Background: The aim of this report is to identify groups once we move from Alert Level 4 who have a high likelihood of reintroducing COVID-19 in Taranaki which would then result in a large number of cases. Methods: A population health risk assessment matrix was created in consultation with various stakeholders and a review of current literature. Results: We identified 31 groups that pose a risk of re-introduction and this included nine groups who were assessed as having a high overall population health risk. The highest risk group was New Zealanders visiting family/whānau (Māori and Pacifika). Other high-risk groups were: New Zealanders visiting whānau (non-Māori), students returning home, young people coming home after losing jobs in major centres, drug dealers/traffickers, organised crime, offshore oil and gas workers, and locum healthcare workers. Conclusions: The best way to prevent a second wave of COVID-19 in Taranaki is by early detection and the use of non-pharmacological measures such as isolation and quarantine. Early detection of COVID-19 needs to target groups who are at high risk of bringing the virus into Taranaki and pose the highest overall population health risk. This report provides guidance on the highest risk groups in Taranaki and the following recommendations are made: Actively testing symptomatic people in the identified high-risk populations Regularly applying an equity lens to the testing data to ensure that high risk groups are being tested.

  • TARANAKI AS ONE—Taranaki Tāngata Tū Tahi 144 New Final Draft # 1507200
    Indigenous forest once made up much of the land cover in the region. Biodiversity on land Biodiversity on land, or terrestrial biodiversity, includes the plants, animals and ecosystems that are based on land. The arrival of humans radically changed New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity. Introduced animals have preyed on or competed with native species, or degraded their habitat. Exotic plants also became widespread as settlement progressed. Natural ecosystems and indigenous species have also been affected by human activities such as land development and clearing of native vegetation. A number of Council programmes are helping to protect forest remnants and control pests to encourage indigenous terrestrial biodiversity in the region. We work alongside private landowners, providing practical initiatives to protect and enhance biodiversity on private land. To ensure we are protecting significant habitats in the region adequately, we also monitor the condition of prioritised ecosystems and biodiversity sites across the region. Our pest control operations focus on controlling introduced animals and plants that threaten prioritised biodiversity sites. As a result, the condition of significant biodiversity sites across the region is generally good or very good. ‘The arrival of humans Forty percent of Taranaki’s land area is currently in indigenous radically changed New forest and shrubland. Whilst the region’s native forest has Zealand’s indigenous greatly reduced since the arrival of humans, Taranaki compares well to the rest of New Zealand, which has about 24% native biodiversity.’ forest cover. It is estimated that since the arrival of humans, around 60% of Taranaki’s indigenous forest and shrubland has been cleared, particularly on the intensively farmed ring plain and coastal terraces.
