Public readiness

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Groups work together to educate and motivate New Zealanders to be better prepared for emergencies. 

The National Public Education Programme is how NEMA and CDEM Groups do public education and support public readiness. The current programme is guided by research and best practice. It is designed to be adaptable.
