National Emergency Management Agency’s Post

AN INNOCENT AUSTRALIAN: "At present Fiji is committing to a 73-metre Ocean of Peace vessel capable of regional disaster response and amphibious beach landings similar to the latest United States Marine Corps (USMC) vessel, to provide a much needed regional capability. "At present, when south west Pacific islands are struck by cyclones or tsunamis, the affected area has to wait for Australia or New Zealand to select a vessel and equip it for the task, sometimes taking two to three weeks to arrive at the disaster site. "This Fiji-based vessel can carry 84 disaster response containers that can cater for up to 750 people in distress, and it can reach most neighbouring nations within two days. For regional peacekeeping duties, this vessel has good accommodation and meeting rooms, providing an ideal neutral zone for parties to discuss and resolve differences before they become irreconcilable."

These motorized floating bridges deliver life-saving connectivity in minutes. A motorized pontoon is a specialized floating bridge system designed to provide temporary or emergency crossings over bodies of water. Its quick deployment, ability to support heavy loads, and self-sufficiency make it a crucial asset in humanitarian aid missions and emergency response operations.

When a disaster strikes and communities are isolated and in need, traditional bridge-building takes too long. Motorized floating bridges, however, can be deployed in minutes, providing critical access. This technology offers fast, reliable, and adaptable solutions in challenging circumstances. Thanks to advanced materials and engineering, these bridges are now essential for humanitarian aid and emergency response. As technology continues to advance, we can anticipate even more impressive solutions. Motorized floating bridges demonstrate human ingenuity and our commitment to building a safer and more resilient world.

Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) - HADR is a growing area of military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. HADR operations are primarily civilian, but armed forces may be used to complement existing relief mechanisms. HADR operations can: 1. Demonstrate a country's commitment to a region. 2. Facilitate access to the recipient country . 3. Demonstrate the operator's capabilities. It would be great to learn more on what HADR mechanisms our government has in place for national and regional disasters. Early Education of the general public on these mechanisms will greatly reduce the chaos that arises with coordination of these mechanisms when initiated during Disasters. Is PNG prepared to respond to a massive disaster?

In the Asia-Pacific, the prospect of great power competition—and potential conflict—looms large, threatening to reshape not only geopolitical dynamics but also humanitarian considerations. Against this backdrop, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is engaged in contingency planning to mitigate civilian harm in case of large-scale combat operations in the region, with a focus on the maritime domain.

Is your organisation prepared to respond to any emergencies abroad? In this article taken from the new winter issue of Think Global People - Relocate magazine, Dr Susan Shortland reveals the steps that can be taken to support people involved in emergencies abroad. In today’s unstable world, mass events such as war, invasions, terrorism and natural disasters are often in the headlines and organisations need to be ready and able to evacuate employees and families with little notice.
