The annual preparedness report must—
state the names, contact details and current qualifications and experience of, and training completed by each person—
who was a responsible person under the flood mitigation manual in the reporting period; and
whom the owner of the dam expects will be a responsible person under the manual before the next annual preparedness report for the dam is prepared; and
be accompanied by documents evidencing the current qualifications, experience and training; and
a current certificate of registration as a registered professional engineer under the Professional Engineers Act 2002
describe the training given to each responsible person for carrying out his or her role and responsibilities under the manual in the reporting period, including the following—
who gave the training and to whom it was given;
the type of training given;
when the training was given and its duration; and
include an assessment of the suitability of communication equipment for use by the responsible persons for carrying out their roles and responsibilities under the manual; and
computer equipment for sending email, CB or other two-way radio, mobile telephone, satellite telephone
include an assessment of the following—
the current adequacy of the forecast system for the dam and the supporting network for the forecast system;
the demonstrated adequacy of the forecast system and supporting network in the reporting period.
In this section—
demonstrated adequacy , of a forecast system, includes—
the reliability of the system that has been demonstrated generally and under flood conditions, if relevant, in the reporting period; and
the accuracy of forecasts of inflow using the system compared to measured rainfall and inflow in the reporting period; and
the accuracy of forecasts of the required outflow and the water surface level of the dam using the system compared to the measured outflow and water surface level in the reporting period.
reporting period means—
for the first annual preparedness report after a flood mitigation manual is approved for the dam—the period since the approval; or
otherwise—the period since the last annual preparedness report for the dam was given to the chief executive.
See also section 650 .
supporting network , for a forecast system for a dam, means the infrastructure that enables the forecast system to be used effectively under the dam’s flood mitigation manual.
