Follow-up review of Auckland Council’s emergency preparedness

We are conducting follow-up work to review Auckland Council’s progress in implementing the recommendations in our June 2023 report, Auckland Council: Preparedness for responding to an emergency.

As part of this follow-up work, Auckland Council has asked that we independently review its progress in addressing the recommendations of two external reviews of the Council’s response to extreme weather events in early 2023, and its emergency preparedness more generally:

• Auckland Flood Response Review: Independent, External Review of Events, January 27-29, 2023 (released in March 2023 by Bush International Consulting).
• Auckland Severe Weather Events 2023 (released in August 2023 by Toa Consulting).

Our work will result in a report that will be tabled in Parliament and published on our website. We expect to complete this work by the end of September 2024.
