RRANZ is pleased to announce Brandy Alger as the recipient of the David Johnston Memorial Scholarship for 2026.

Disaster recovery is arguably the least understood CIMS function – and RRANZ is doing something about it. Their new Performing the CIMS Recovery Function course runs 22–23 October 2026 at Massey University, Wellington.

The RRANZ team have just spent a week with a group of Manaaki Scholarship recipients as part of RRANZ’s training consortium work.

Applications are now open for the 2026 David Johnston scholarship.

Whether you’re working in Intelligence, Planning, Logistics, Operations, Welfare, Safety, Recovery, or Public Information Management, we have a course tailored to the tools, processes, and responsibilities of your CIMS function.

Watch this space – CIMS function course coming in 2026. Dates out soon.

We are thrilled to announce the recipients of our first ever David Johnston Memorial Scholarship.

An independent evaluation of the RRANZ Leadership Development Programme confirmed its significant positive impact on emergency management leadership capability while identifying opportunities for targeted enhancement and sector-wide development.
