Page updated: 30 November 2020
If you're the Incident Controller, you may want to ask the public for information during the Operations stage. You can do this in a variety of ways.
Choose the most appropriate way to ask the public for information
You may ask the public for information by using:
- public broadcast band radio and other media outlets
- private radio networks, for example, private radio networks operated by the Department of Conservation, councils (including park rangers), transport operators, recreational groups and organisations
- public radio networks, for example, marine coastal radio VHF and HF networks operated by Maritime New Zealand, aviation networks operated by Airways, air traffic control at airports
- social media that can be accessed by the New Zealand Police.
