Te Puni Kōkiri Context Summary of Event • A M7.8 earthquake occurred north-east of Culverden, New Zealand at 00:02 NZDT on 14 November 2016. • Strong to severe shaking was felt across the Marlborough region and lasted for over two minutes. Ward experienced the highest peak ground acceleration rates in the South Island, experiencing up to 0.9G during the shaking. • MCDEM issued a general tsunami threat message via the National Warning System (NWS) at 0050hrs NZDT on 14 November 2016 and this was cancelled at 1500hrs NZDT on 14 November 2016. A 4m wave was measured however due to low tides and coastal uplift the effects were minimal. • GNS Science have measured fault movements of up to 10m horizontally and 3m vertically. • Aftershocks continued for some time however most of these have been light or weak in felt intensity. Note however that GNS has calculated that over the next 12 months there is a 90% probability of a 6.0 – 6.9M aftershock, a 25% probability of a 7.0 – 7.8M aftershock and a 5% probability of a greater than 7.8M aftershock. • All Marlborough communities have been subjected to earthquake damage. The larger communities affected include Ward, Seddon, Blenheim, and to a lesser degree, Picton. The main impact was to buildings, farm assets including roading, horizontal infrastructure, river control works, the transportation network and the water supply in Ward. • A local state of emergency was not declared in Marlborough for this event and response transitioned into recovery when the Group Recovery Manager took control on Friday 18 November. Recovery Mandate A notice of a National Transition Period (including Marlborough) was put in place on 9 December by the MCDEM Minister and Dave Brash has been appointed as the National Recovery Manager. Dave is based in the MCDEM office in Wellington. The functions of the National Recovery Office are to: 1. Develop a high-level recovery strategy that articulates priorities and approach and becomes the guiding document for government agencies. 2. Provide secretariat support to the All of Government Policy Coordination Group. 3. Focus on relationships with the support of others in central government to support the regional and local recovery efforts. 4. Actively trouble-shoot, problem solve and support government agencies and local authorities to resolve disconnects. 5. Understand and communicate to central government the local and regional community aspirations, limitations and issues which arise. 6. Communicate to local government the priorities of central government. 7. Provide a centralised policy and legal function to support Ministers and agencies on any legislative and policy matters. 8. Support government by providing a single point of contact and coordinated messaging to the public across the recovery. Page 1 As outlined in the Guide to the National CDEM Plan 2015 the role of the appointed Marlborough Group Recovery Manager, Dean Heiford, is that: 1. Smaller-scale recoveries that require co-ordination at the CDEM Group level will be co- ordinated through the person responsible for recovery management for the CDEM Group (the CDEM Group Recovery Manager) and, where necessary, the establishment of a CDEM Group Recovery Office. 2. The Marlborough CDEM Group Recovery Manager: a) Liaises with the National Recovery Manager and, b) Undertakes planning and manages, directs, and co-ordinates activities for the recovery throughout its duration and, if necessary, establishes a CDEM Group Recovery Office to manage the recovery function; and c) Implements appropriate reporting and tracking mechanisms; and d) Works with the Group Controller and the relevant Public Information Manager to ensure a smooth transition between response and recovery; and e) Co-ordinates the recovery activity of the relevant lifeline utilities and agencies; and f) Determines and prioritises major areas of recovery; and g) Develops the group recovery action plan, to establish time-frames for the implementation of recovery activities; and h) Co-ordinates advice on regional assistance; and i) Provides regional-level co-ordination of public information related to recovery. Plans Purpose The purpose of this plan is to provide the framework that will enable the provision of coordinated effort and processes that need to be, or have been, put in place to manage the immediate, medium and long term regeneration of the social, built, economic and natural environments of Marlborough. The Plan also covers recovery actions within the geographical area of KDC from Waipapa to the northern District boundary at Wharanui which the Marlborough Recovery Manager has been given authority by KDC to coordinate on its behalf. This Plan is a living document and will be updated as required. Recovery Goals 1. Hardship is minimised and well-being enhanced for individuals and communities who have suffered losses or damage as a result of the earthquake. 2. Local, national and international confidence is maintained in the region as a place to live, work, visit, invest and do business. 3. Recovery efforts are credible, effective and are supported by robust and transparent processes and systems. 4. Recovery actions are affordable now and into the future for the Marlborough community. 5. The people and organisations of Marlborough and the National Recovery Manager maintain confidence in the local recovery process. 6. Recovery actions improve the resilience of communities and infrastructure to future events.
