The Commerce Commission is advising businesses on how and when they can collaborate in response to an emergency.
This is in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle and other weather events which battered Northland, Auckland, Tairawhiti and Hawke's Bay.
The Commission first issued guidance in 2020, during Covid-19, for businesses wanting to collaborate to ensure the supply of essential goods and services, without being seen as acting as a cartel.
Commerce Commission chair Dr John Small spoke to Corin Dann.
