Manaaki Backpack

Natural disasters and everyday emergencies can strike at any time, and hauora, disability, and social service providers have a duty of care to protect both staff and the vulnerable people they support. Outreach workers are often first on the scene in clients’ homes, yet sourcing, storing, and maintaining reliable emergency resources can be complex and time-consuming. Pulling together the right mix of safety gear, first aid, food, water, and hygiene supplies requires planning and constant upkeep — something many organisations simply don’t have capacity for.

That’s why we created the Manaaki Pack. This all-in-one staff safety backpack is designed for outreach workers in the community, giving them both everyday support and civil defence-level preparedness. Each pack is compact, waterproof, and lightweight, containing carefully selected resources such as first aid, food and water purification, lighting, hygiene essentials, PPE, and a practical handbook. It’s a grab-and-go solution that equips staff to handle daily disruptions like power cuts and road closures, while also being ready for major emergencies such as floods, earthquakes, or cyclones.

The Manaaki Pack is a cost-effective, professional solution that helps organisations meet their health and safety obligations while giving staff confidence and peace of mind. Ready to use straight out of the box, it integrates seamlessly into your organisation’s emergency planning, supporting staff and clients when it matters most.

Suitable for hauora outreach teams, disability support workers, social service providers, and community care organisations.
