Digital Resilience Alliance

Keeping Wellington’s Digital Future in Wellington’s Hands

Protect Wellington's Digital Lifeline: Building Resilience Before the Next Disaster Strikes

When the next major earthquake hits Wellington, our region will fragment into seven isolated "islands" cut off from each other for months. Critical services like water, electricity, and communications will be severely compromised.

But we don't have to face this future unprepared.

The Digital Resilience Alliance is a community-driven initiative committed to ensuring that Wellington's digital infrastructure remains operational during crises, preserving essential services and saving lives.

We've already demonstrated the impact of our approach, saving Porirua City Council 4 days of lost productivity through resilient infrastructure design. That's real economic protection for New Zealand communities.

Your support helps us:

- Create a resilient digital backbone connecting Wellington's seven emergency zones

- Build local technological sovereignty instead of relying on overseas solutions

- Develop frameworks that prioritise community needs over corporate interests

- Share our knowledge with other regions facing similar challenges

Seven Islands Digital Resilience Framework

We’re building the Seven Islands Digital Resilience Framework for the entire Wellington region, leveraging existing infrastructure assets as our digital corridor.

This extends beyond emergency response to fundamentally reimagine how we approach regional infrastructure for the next century.

Infrastructure Integration

We’re unifying existing assets rather than building redundant systems, transforming physical infrastructure into digital capability

Governance Transcendence

We’re creating a framework that spans jurisdictional boundaries while preserving local sovereignty

Circular Value Creation

We’re establishing digital systems that keep value circulating within our communities rather than being extracted externally

When we map the lifelines across our region and integrate digital infrastructure with physical systems, we create unprecedented resilience capabilities while dramatically reducing operational costs.

Partners, not just providers

At Omega Networks, we understand that while each city is unique, the fundamental systems and processes that drive them share common patterns.

This insight has led us to develop our Zero Trust Platform Framework, a revolutionary approach that enables co-design and collaboration across organisational boundaries while maintaining robust security. Instead of councils independently developing solutions to common challenges like NZISM standards, PCI compliance or disaster recovery, we create shared methodologies and standards that can be securely implemented anywhere, validated once, and benefiting all.

It's a win, win, win
