Continuing our emergency response series with Ropiha Callaghan, Civil Defence in Raukōkore.

In this kōrero, Ropiha talks about the importance of having essential supplies ready at home, alongside wider whānau preparedness during emergencies.

He highlights how being prepared ahead of time, having the right supplies in place and making early decisions like getting out early if you can can make a significant difference in keeping whānau safe when situations change quickly.

Preparation is not just about what we have on hand, but also how we respond together as whānau when it matters most.

“Don’t get complacent and mahia te mahi”.

Ngā mihi Ropiha for your kōrero and support of our communities.

Continuing our emergency response series with Ropiha Callaghan, Civil Defence in Raukōkore.

In this kōrero, Ropiha talks about the emergency hub in Raukōkore and the important role it plays during response efforts.

The hub acts as a central space for coordination, communication, and support when emergencies occur, helping ensure information and resources are shared with the community as quickly and effectively as possible.

It’s a key part of how response efforts are managed locally, and how whānau can be supported on the ground when it’s needed most.

At Te Moana a Toi, our role is to support better outcomes for whānau.

We don’t deliver services directly instead, we work behind the scenes to make sure the right support reaches you, when and where it’s needed most.

We help guide decisions about where resources go, remove barriers, and support Māori health providers to do what they do best caring for our people.

Our approach means we can:

- Lead when strong direction is needed
- Support those already doing the mahi
- Advocate for what whānau need
- Oppose things that don’t serve our people

By staying focused on the bigger picture, and listening to the voices of whānau, we help create a system that works better for you now and for future generations.

✨ Matariki is coming ✨

As we move into the colder months, we begin to prepare for Matariki a time marked by the rising of the Matariki star cluster, signalling the Māori New Year.

It is a season to slow down, to reflect on the year that has passed, to remember those we have lost, and to come together with whānau. It is also a time to look ahead, to set intentions, and to nurture new beginnings.

He wā mō te maumahara, te whakanui, me te whakatō i ngā wawata. 🌿

Our tikanga and strategic priorities reflect how we operate as Te Moana a Toi IMPB and how we exercise our mana to enable flourishing whānau, hapū, and iwi.

Our values are not symbolic they are how we lead. They shape how we exercise authority, make decisions, and uphold accountability to our people, our mokopuna, and our Toi Ao.

Grounded in wairuatanga, ūkaipōtanga, rangatiratanga, manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, kotahitanga, whanaungatanga, and pūkengatanga our tikanga guides how we act and how we hold ourselves and the system to account.

Our Strategic Priorities bring this into practice. They reflect how we lead, influence, and strengthen systems from elevating iwi authority and whānau voice, to enabling intergenerational wellbeing, sustained leadership, and system accountability.

Together, they keep us focused on what matters most long-term impact, strong governance, and outcomes for our people, now and for future generations.

With all that is happening with Pāpātuānuku at the moment, our focus recently has been on emergency response and strengthening our readiness strategy across Te Moana a Toi.

We sat down with Ropiha Callaghan, who works within Civil Defence emergency response in Raukōkore, to hear more about his role and the important mahi happening on the East Coast.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing short clips from this kōrero, covering different parts of the conversation and insights he shares around emergency preparedness and response.
I
n this first clip, Ropiha introduces himself and his role in supporting emergency response for our communities. His mahi plays an important part in helping ensure our whānau are informed, supported, and ready when emergencies arise.

This series will help us think about how we strengthen resilience across our rohe.
Ngā mihi Ropiha and thank you for supporting whānau with this incredibly important mahi.

Kia ora whānau,

At the heart of our strategic direction is a simple but powerful vision Toi Ora, flourishing people.

For us in Te Moana a Toi, wellbeing isn’t just about individuals. It is deeply connected to the health of our whenua, our moana, and the relationships that carry us across generations.

This understanding is grounded in:
✨ Mana Atua
✨ Mana Tūpuna
✨ Mana Whenua
✨ Mana Moana
✨ Mana Tangata

Together, these reflect a way of seeing the world where wellbeing is relational, interconnected, and guided by whakapapa.

Our trustees have come together, bringing their lived experience, knowledge, and connections to hapori, to shape a strategy that reflects this whakaaro.
A strategy grounded in who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.

As iwi, we hold a responsibility as kaitiaki to restore balance where it has been disrupted, and to ensure our systems reflect and uphold our values.
Because when our environment thrives, our people thrive.
