EPOD

West Coast Emergency Management Group (WCEM) is strengthening their resilience with three new EPOD emergency containers.

In partnership with FIRST72 and EPOD, this project focuses on providing alternate Emergency Coordination Centres (ECCs) and Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) for high-risk areas across the region.

Funded through the NEMA 2024/25 CDEM Resilience Fund, this project is the first time our EPODs have received direct funding from NEMA at a national level.

The three new EPODs will be deployed in Buller District (x2) and Westland District (x1).

This project builds on the three existing EPODs deployed to the West Coast last year through Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu
