This Handbook provides a broad overview of the National Resilience System and contains the central government arrangements used to respond to strategic crises, replacing the 2016 National Security System Handbook. It is intended to clarify roles and responsibilities across the system and strengthen agency readiness to respond.
This Handbook is intended for use by New Zealand government officials who are part of the National Resilience System, and who participate in ODESC system activations for emerging risks, or in response to crisis events. It is intended to be a living document and will be updated on a six-monthly basis.
