Other Activities and Goals
Bi-annual AELG Seminar
The AELG holds a bi-annual seminar for members and interested parties, at which members are encouraged to report on progress made within their organisations on mitigation activities, asset management and disaster preparedness planning.
Website
Information on AELG projects and emergency management initiatives in NZ and internationally are regularly updated on this website. The ARC currently hosts the website. AELG members have access to a member’s area where additional information is held.
Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Representation
AELG is a member of CEG and an AELG representative (usually the AELG Chair) attends monthly CEG meetings and liaises with the Steering Committee where input into CEG activities is required.
Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Projects
AELG represents utilities where input is required to CDEMG projects.
Workshops for New Members
These can be held when requested to educate new members or other staff in existing member organisations on AELP/AELG work and information available for hazard mitigation planning.
Sponsorship
The AELG sends out letters seeking membership and financial sponsors each year. Funding goals are set out in section 4.
Sector Group Planning
As described in section 1.5, sector task groups have been established for energy, telecommunications and transport, and links formed with an existing regional water sector group. The sector groups meet approximately six-monthly, convened by the AELG project manager.
