Resource for infrastructure and recovery managers
We've pulled together lessons from past disaster recovery efforts as extreme weather continues to affect infrastructure across the North and South islands.
Key messages from the policy brief includes guidance on:
- Keeping strategic governance separate from day-to-day operations,
- Balancing community engagement with the need to work quickly,
- Managing contractor pipelines to maintain recovery momentum,
Coordinating work across multiple organisations and infrastructure types, and
Reducing future risk through recovery.
The brief is based on research from 2023 and 2024, drawing on international case studies to identify practical approaches for infrastructure owners and recovery teams working in New Zealand.
