Executive summary Findings show that recent events have had a significant impact on people’s disaster awareness and preparedness. •Sixty percent say they have taken steps to prepare themselves or their household in the last 12 months, up from 44% last year. The main prompt for doing so was the Christchurch earthquakes (65% of those who said they did something to prepare themselves or their household said (unprompted) that this was due to the Christchurch earthquakes). •After prompting, 60% said they did something to prepare as a direct result of either the September or February earthquake – 38% prepared emergency survival items and one quarter (25%) formulated a survival plan. •People are more aware that earthquakes (up from 92% to 97%) and hurricanes, cyclones, or storms (up from 31% to 53%) could happen in New Zealand in their lifetime. •More people agree that in a disaster there will be someone there to help you (up from 65% to 74%) and that in a disaster, emergency services would be there to help you (up from 65% to 75%). They are less likely to agree that there will always be adequate warning before disaster hits (down from 37% to 28%). © Colmar Brunton 2011 4
Executive summary (continued) • People are more likely to say their local or regional council (up from 38% to 48%), the ambulance service (up from 67% to 71%) and their neighbours (up from 80% to 84%) will be there to help them following a disaster. • More people believe that sewerage services (up from 82% to 88%) could be disrupted following a disaster. The proportion of people who believe that mobile phone services could be disrupted has increased gradually throughout the course of the campaign, from 56% in 2007, to 59% in 2008, to 62% in 2009, to 69% in 2010, and to 73% in 2011. • There is greater awareness of the need to have an emergency survival plan. Nearly half (47%) said unprompted that households should prepare an emergency survival plan for when disaster strikes (up from 39% in 2010). © Colmar Brunton 2011 5
