WORKSHOP 1: PUBLIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENT: PIM101 / REFRESHER

This PIM workshop will provide practical tools for PIM Managers, including those who are thrust into a leadership role in a sizeable incident.

The workshop will be facilitated by some of NZ’s most experienced PIMs, including:

  • Michele Poole, Fire and Emergency NZ;
  • Jo Davidson, Auckland Council, and
  • Glyn Walters, Marlborough District Council

The workshop will provide useful tips, templates and information as a starting point for your own PIM planning – to prompt your own preparation; to tailor to your organisation or circumstances; or to supplement what you’ve already got.

WORKSHOP 3: EMOTIONAL FITNESS: MAKING A PLAN TO LAST THE DISTANCE

In a climate-altered world, where rapid and often unpredictable change is the norm, individual resilience needs to be more than just “dig deep and keep going”. When emergencies come tumbling in on top of each other and you’re trying to respond and recover at the same time, burnout and mental or emotional collapse are inevitable.

If you can’t last the distance your expertise could go to waste. In just 90 minutes, this workshop gives you the opportunity to create a sustainable plan for your own wellbeing: before, during, and after a crisis.

Using a combination of the world-renowned and New Zealand-designed Emotional Culture Deck and Wellbeing Deck by riders&elephants, this interactive workshop, designed especially for the EMPA Conference, provides the space and guidance to: understand your own needs, explore the factors that influence your ability to cope, and identify simple, critical moves that will make a difference for you. For once, this isn’t about your stakeholders, but it will help you serve them without burning out.

This workshop will be facilitated by Kathryn Ruge, Engaging People.
