Working Groups and committees

The ODESC governance boards are supported by a number of multi-agency Working Groups and committees.

Committees are typically longstanding while working groups are usually formed as required to concentrate on a specific issue.

Membership of committees and Working Groups depend on the nature of the issue under consideration.

• Counter-Terrorism Coordinating Committee
• National Intelligence Coordination Committee
• Cyber Governance Group
• Major Events Security Committee.

Committees reporting to the Hazard and Risk Board include:

• Maritime Security Oversight Committee
• National Agencies' Incident Management Reference Group
• National Exercise Programme
• National Security System Training and Development Group
• New Zealand Search and Rescue Council.
