Thames-Coromandel District CouncilEmergency Management & Community Resilience Officer
Feb. 2017 - Sep. 2025Whangamata, Waikato, New ZealandBy actively engaging in the four pillars of emergency management—readiness, response, recovery, and reduction—I have cultivated and sustained robust relationships with sector stakeholders, emergency partners, communities, businesses, and individuals. These collaborations have been crucial in strengthening community resilience and readiness to respond effectively. I also manage the delivery of internal projects for our Emergency Management Unit, including the Tsunami Sirens review, the Indoor Alerting Device program, the TCDC Emergency Alerts project, Tsunami Signs Project, and the Community Resilience project. Ensuring operational readiness involves providing regular training to our council staff and external stakeholders.
