Emergency Planning and Resilience for New Zealand Catchment Groups and Farmers

On this page, you’ll find:

  • Templates and checklists to support emergency planning and response
  • Tools to help identify local risks and prioritise actions

You’ll also find a farm emergency plan template designed to help you prepare for the unexpected. It supports stronger resilience by improving your ability to recover after a disaster, identify opportunities to strengthen your operation, provide peace of mind for you, your family and staff, and potentially reduce insurance costs.

Learn how to rebuild after flooding with video tutorials on flood-proof fencing and regrassing silt for pastoral farmers.
