The video shows parts of the Auckland Disability Community hui on planning for emergencies. The hui was held on Wednesday 13 November at Freemans Bay Community Hall.
The audio does not match the speakers shown in the video. The footage shows what the hui looked like on the day with discussions and presentations. It also shows attendees taking part in group discussions and providing feedback.
The footage includes wide shots from the back of the room facing the speaking tables. It also has close-up shots of table discussions, people mingling during the breaks and people holding the microphone during report-back sessions.
[Video: Upbeat music plays throughout this video.]
[Video: Footage shows the Auckland Council pōhutukawa logo in the middle of the screen. Below the logo, the words 'Disability Advisory Panel - Community Forum' and '2-minute trailer edit' appear on the screen.]
Voice: Áine Kelly-Costello - The kaupapa is how can we make sure we’re fostering relationships and understanding between the disability community and sector and emergency response, to get to a point where there’s a really great nuanced understanding and actionable steps we can take to be more prepared.
Voice: Sally Britnell - I have a service animal, and she was absolutely terrified.
Voice: Patti Poa, whānau hauā - Marae are not known for being well-resourced.
Voice: Abbie Twiss - I was very worried at the time as I watched the waters rise.
Voice: Kramer Hoeflich - The little accessibility map. I don’t put a lot of faith in it.
Voice: Patti - Trying to get power, trying to get access, trying to get funding.
Voice: Sally - Go to your local evacuation centre, and I’m like, well how the hell am I going to get there?
Voice: Newaye - Most places are not accessible places out there for us.
Voice: Áine - So we’re hearing about a range of barriers, right?
Voice: Amy Hogan - I can find it difficult to read lots of information and lots of messaging and things.
Voice: Attendee 1 - But you can’t, when you are in this whole trauma.
Voice: Sally - Why can’t I, as a human being, just say hey, why can’t we do this? Because I think the people who are organising it will probably just go into automatic pilot as well and follow what a piece of paper says.
Voice: Áine - So yeah, lots of logistics – how do you get the information? Where does it come from? And what does it say? And if you get it from a different means, will it also say the same thing?
Voice: Barry de Geest - So, I think we need to look at all the organisations and how we can get the same information going to everybody.
Voice: Greg Morgan - We have Plan A and we have Plan B. You do need to have a couple of ideas.
Voice: Renee Santos - Look, how can we do this better? How can we have this more inclusive?
Voice: Terrence Coe - Our role which is something I heard someone here talk about, was people at the centre.
Voice: Greg - We have the intent that we would make our Civil Defence centres, places where everybody feels welcome.
Voice: Attendee 2 - If you haven’t prepared yourself, a lot of the times, you can find yourself on your own.
Voice: Attendee 3 - Have supplies for 72-hours, folks.
Voice: Kristi Shaw - It’s actually emergency preparedness.
Voice: Attendee 4 - When there was an emergency, we found that most people were contacting us as service providers or community groups, rather than contacting, like, emergency services and what not.
Voice: Kramer - Remember, at the end of the day, we are people first before our disability.
Voice: Barry - Please don’t feel like this is a one-off and it’s going to get lost.
