The Wellington Emergency Management Office (WEMO) aims to help Wellington prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters. WEMO operates under the requirements of the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Act 2002.
On a daily basis, WEMO works to manage emergency risks through planning, training and exercises.
