Emergency response coordinator contacts

Emergency response coordinators are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to property-related damage as the result of a disaster such as fire, flood and extreme weather. We recommend that boards use our contracted emergency response coordinators when needed and that these contacts be readily available for use in the case of an emergency.

This service is provided for state schools only because the Ministry of Education is the owner of these sites. Private and state-integrated schools are free to directly engage the services of the ERCs themselves but the contracting arrangement would be between these parties.

Overview

Emergency response coordinators (ERC) will work with the school and the Ministry to coordinate the response effort with the relevant emergency services (Fire Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) or Police).

The ERC will inspect the damage and arrange any urgent work to be done in order to make the site safe and get the school functioning as quickly as possible. The following information lists the contacts for the ERC in your area.
