Dear Alan Thompson
Official Information Act request relating to feedback on the application of the Coordinated
Incident Management System: Whakaari Event
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 8 May 2021. You
requested:
“… a copy of the "feedback" (as a communication, debrief notes, record of a meeting or
other notes) provided to the authors of the report that supports the statement made in
Insights e) on Page 19 that "CIMS worked well" along with the name of the organisation(s)
who provided the feedback.”
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 20 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be 5 July
2021.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on your request.
Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
