The current emergency response network was set up in 1999 when emergency response vigils were held around Aotearoa New Zealand in response to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. It has been activated several times since then, most often in response to missile and bomb attacks on the people of Iraq, as well as to the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and of Iraq in 2003. When the network is activated again in the future, the details will be shown on this page.
