Crisis Bunker Ltd. is New Zealand’s leading provider of emergency preparedness solutions. We equip households, schools, businesses, marae, and communities with the tools they need to stay safe and resilient when disaster strikes.

Since 2020, events like COVID-19 and Cyclone Gabrielle have shown that readiness is no longer optional — it’s essential. We deliver survival packs and practical kits, as well as bespoke projects tailored to each client.

Our work with marae and agencies sits at the heart of what we do. By building Resilience Hubs, Trailers, and Lockers, we help marae serve as community anchors — providing shelter, power, water, and resources in times of need.

From backpacks to large-scale community projects, we walk alongside people across Aotearoa to prepare, respond, and recover together.

We deliver practical emergency kits and large-scale resilience solutions designed to sustain people and communities for 72+ hours after a disaster. We also help groups navigate funding pathways, making preparedness projects affordable and achievable for households, schools, marae, and community groups.
