CIVIL DEFENCE

Civil Defence is not an organisation as such, but a system of coordinating emergency management. It's a way communities, organisations and government work together to get ready and get through an emergency. In this way, we are all Civil Defence... In the Bay of Plenty, we have a Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Group that manages activities. All Councils in the Bay of Plenty, along with agencies such as the police and fire service, are all members of this group... Welcome to the Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Group. The Bay of Plenty CDEM Group is responsible for the co-ordination of Civil Defence and Emergency Management services across the seven councils. Keeping communities safe and prepared to respond and recover from emergencies, the group website offers advice, information, resources and access to a suite of alerting tools to keep you prepared whatever the situation.
