Messana Group New Zealand

Messana Group has expanded to New Zealand, bringing our proven emergency management training methodology to organisations across the country. Our Auckland office serves as the base for delivering comprehensive emergency preparedness services tailored to New Zealand’s unique risk environment.

New Zealand-Specific Emergency Training

New Zealand faces distinct emergency risks that require specialised training. In addition to our core fire warden and evacuation training, we deliver programs addressing the specific hazards that New Zealand workplaces must prepare for.

Earthquake Preparedness

New Zealand sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, making earthquake preparedness essential for every workplace. Our training covers:

Drop, Cover, and Hold response procedures
Post-earthquake safety assessment
Building evacuation after seismic events
Aftershock protocols and ongoing safety
Reunification procedures for separated staff

Tsunami Awareness

Coastal workplaces in New Zealand must be prepared for tsunami events. Our training includes:

Tsunami warning systems and alert recognition
Evacuation zone identification
Vertical and horizontal evacuation procedures
Long duration evacuation planning
Return-to-work protocols after tsunami warnings

Auckland Volcanic Field Awareness

Auckland is built on a volcanic field with over 50 volcanic centres. While eruption probability is low, the consequences require awareness:

Volcanic hazard zones in Auckland
Warning signs and alert levels
Evacuation procedures for volcanic events
Business continuity during volcanic disruption
