The Planning and Intelligence sections in the EOC will be responsible for collating the information and ensuring it is shared amongst the key stakeholders. Council and contract engineers will carry out the impact assessments. If Earthquake Commission staff and insurance assessors are deployed then all efforts will be made to ensure a minimum of visits are made to properties ie; assessments are done cooperatively and in a coordinated way. If appropriate placards will be placed on buildings during the assessment phase which will clearly state whether a building has restricted access or if entry is prohibited. Buildings that have been inundated by flooding will be assessed by teams that include a health sector inspector. With regard to the Guide to the National CDEM Plan 2015 (section 15 – Building Management), MBIE will issue guidance to MDC on planning for emergec mn assessments. MBIE and Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga may also assist CDEM Groups and territorial authorities in identifying and managing risks to heritage buildings and sites from hazards that may arise during an emergency and provide advice and support to the Group Controller and MDC on matters relating to heritage during response and recovery operations.
