www.hurunui.govt.nz the intended outcome to enhance the region’s ability to share resources and work together rather than each district have its own fire teams. We will do our bit to ensure that careful consideration is given to how this will work in the field and whether we will be better off under this system. We will also be concerned that the proposed model can be operated at an affordable price. Funding Civil Defence Operational Costs: • 100% District Rate after taking into account the small central government contribution via an annual grant Capital Costs: • Funded over the life of the asset and met through the District Rate Rural Fire Operational Costs: • Fighting fires – the property owner pays. In some instances there may be a portion of the fire fighting costs that may not be able to be recovered. Such costs will need to be recovered in line with ‘other costs’. • Other costs – after taking government grants into account, 80% from ratepayers in the Rural Fire Authority area and 20% from ratepayers outside the Rural Fire Authority area. Both will be collected by way of a Targeted Rate known as the Rural Fire Rate. Capital Costs: • Funded over the life of the asset and met through the targeted rate. Council Assets Civil Defence • Not applicable Rural Fire • Fire equipment and depots throughout the District Maintenance and Operating Implications Civil Defence We will continue to manage and operate our civil defence emergency management functions from our Emergency Operations Centre at Amberley Office. Rural Fire We intend to continue to manage and operate our fire response functions as currently in place while a possible Canterbury wide fire fighting agency is considered. Assumptions and Risks Civil Defence Planning and preparing for an emergency situation that may not happen requires making assumptions. Civil Defence Emergency Management planning is based on the assumption that a serious disaster will occur, such as an earthquake. The Hurunui District contains several fault lines that are said to be overdue to move. A significant part of the Hurunui District is coastal, and therefore at risk from tsunamis. Other major risks include flooding, wild fires and the impacts of adverse weather conditions. Good planning and preparation is crucial, therefore we have taken our role in civil defence emergency management very seriously. Rural Fire Our District is prone to extreme drought conditions during the summer months and it is then that callouts for fire services are particularly high. It is assumed that this trend will continue and that our fire services will continue to be frequently called out. Of significant risk to our rural community is the constant need to recruit, train and retain volunteers to be available when there are fires. A major risk is the issue of health and safety. Obviously, fighting fires is a dangerous activity and it is essential that volunteers are fully trained to prevent injury or loss of life to themselves and others. Fire plans and appropriate resources are critical to mitigate these risks. Shared Services Rural Fire Districts usually build up their fire fighting resources to meet normal demands, but from time to time, local resources are inadequate. There is a general commitment to assist others when fighting larger fires. We bring in fire crews from outside the District to fight large fires when necessary or use private sector resources. 116
