Welcome To Lakes DHB

The Lakes DHB Emergency Planning Team work with Rotorua and Taupo Hospitals and community health providers, providing planning, advice and coordination.

As a critical service, our community’s healthcare facilities and services need clearly defined, documented and practised business emergency response plans.

Lakes DHB emergency management plans are based on the risks and threats that can reasonably be anticipated to impact on health services in the Lakes District. Lakes DHB Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) uses Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) for managing emergencies as this system provides a functional framework and is used by a majority of emergency responders.
