Emergency Management Bill (No. 2) - what does it mean for communities?The Government is currently reviewing how emergency management works across New Zealand. This Bill looks at how we prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters; plus how national, regional and local systems work together.From a community perspective, this is important because:🌧️ Disasters start and end locally🤝 Communities are often the first to respond📢 Clear communication and strong local networks can save time and even livesPapakura CRN believes community voices should help shape this legislation. We’re proud that one of our members is speaking to the Governance and Administration Select Committee to advocate for strong local involvement and better support for community-led response.Good law should empower communities. All the best with your presentation Andrea! 💬💚#EmergencyManagement #CommunityResilience #PapakuraCRN #StrongerTogether #HaveYourSay ... See MoreSee Less

Locals helping locals get ready

The Papakura Community Resilience Network (CRN) strengthens disaster preparedness in Papakura, Drury, and Takaanini by building local connections, raising community awareness, and providing critical resources. Our goal is to create a more resilient community through collaborative support.

It starts with neighbours

Community resilience begins with neighbourhoods. That means getting to know folks on your street and building a support network. Street Meets are a fun way to get to know the folks on your street. Become a CRN Registered “Street Leader” and organise a cook out in your neighbourhood.

What we do

Disaster Training

Our Disaster Training sessions equip you with practical skills and knowledge to handle emergencies confidently. Learn how to prepare your home, help your neighbors, and respond effectively when disaster strikes. Join us to become a vital part of our community’s resilience.

Explore

Community Hubs

Community Hubs are the heart of our resilience network. These designated gathering points are places where neighbors come together, share resources, and support one another during times of need. Find your nearest hub and get involved in strengthening our community’s readiness.

Explore

Street Meets

Street Meets are fun, casual events that bring neighbors together over a BBQ or shared meal. They are a great way to build friendships and foster connections that will help us all in times of need. Come along, meet your neighbors, and help build a resilient Papakura!
