In the wake of the recent cyclones and adverse weather events, we recognise how our community steps up, ready to support those in need and the response efforts in emergency situations.
In partnership with Ruapehu District Council, Waikato Regional Civil Defence, and Fire and Emergency New Zealand, we are offering two 🔺 FREE CIMS training courses 🔺 to iwi and community members. This is your opportunity to learn the tools and become empowered to handle emergency situations.
🔹 Taumarunui – Saturday 8 March 2025
Council Chambers – 59 Huia Street, Taumarunui
🔹 Te Kūiti – Saturday 15 March 2025
Gallagher Recreation Centre – 1a Eketone Street, Te Kūiti
This practical one-day course (kai provided) is for those people who wish to gain an understanding of the New Zealand Co-ordinated Incident Management System structure (CIMS) and leads into the CIMS Level 4 training.
Whilst CIMS is used during the response stage of the 4R’s of Emergency Management it can be implemented in the readiness and recovery phases of emergency management.
After completing the CIMS training, participants will have:
🔹 Fully attended the 1 day course
🔹 Demonstrated basic knowledge of the principles, roles, structure, functions and the impact of situational awareness on an incident. This is covered by unit standard 32158.
