We’re encouraging TMBC members to be trained to help protect our region
If you haven’t done so already, we’re encouraging TMBC members to join our matrix of interested people who will be trained to help protect our region by supporting Biosecurity New Zealand-led response. It’s not just technical experts, everyone has a role to play in a response from coordinating logistics and operations through to assisting in welfare and communications.
Why should I join?
You’ll be joining a team of passionate locals who are keen to learn about how New Zealand agencies and organisations coordinate, command and control responses of any scale using the Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS). This is about being in a position to contribute our local knowledge and skills, to protect what we love about life in the Bay of Plenty. It’s also about recognising our collective commitment and preparedness to deal with any biosecurity challenges that we might face.
What’s required?
Register now – it’s easy!
- Complete the questionnaire (5-10 minutes) to register
