Operational Considerations - Stakeholder Engagement

Option 4

The argument supporting Option 4 emphasizes the need for consistency in disaster response approaches across different regions, suggesting that the central government should be engaged to align the treatment of Nelson with that of the east coast storms. This approach is viewed as sustainable and prevents setting a precedent of the council taking on significant financial burdens in major disasters without similar national strategies. The commenter also supports adhering to established EQC protocols, which could streamline operations and stakeholder engagement.

Point No	Comment
427.2	while there is somewhat of a moral obligation, it is an unsustainable precedent in a major disaster. Following standard EQC approach is fine. Also central govt should be negotiated with to apply a similar apprach to the east coast storms
