Australia and NZ 'learning from adversity'

SOME of the Australian emergency workers who helped out after the devastating earthquake in Christchurch 2011 are returning to New Zealand.

THE workers are attending a conference on what lessons have been learnt from it and other disasters.

The annual Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC) and Bushfire and Natural Hazards Co-operative Research Centre conference is being held in Wellington from Tuesday. It is held in New Zealand once every eight years.President Greg Mullins says many AFAC members travelled to New Zealand to help in the response immediately following the earthquake."We are pleased to be able to return now for this conference and to share in the learning from this disaster with our New Zealand colleagues," said Mr Mullins, the Fire and Rescue NSW commissioner.New Zealand Fire Service chief executive Paul Baxter says the theme of the conference is "after disaster strikes - learning from adversity".There was no shortage of disasters to learn from, he said.Last summer, Australia experienced some of its most extreme heat waves. New Zealand is still coping with the devastating Canterbury earthquakes, while several Pacific neighbours are still recovering from cyclones and tsunami.Fire Service data reveals increasing demand for its services at wind, rain and flood events.The Fire Service was putting increased emphasis on developing leadership and excellence in incident management, Mr Baxter said.
