already heard from them.
If unsuccessful try and contact other group members (if
applicable).

contacting the OUTDOORS USER and if applicable other group
members. If unsuccessful and you are extremely concerned
or bad weather has set in, go straight to contacting the New
Zealand Police.
If you are still unsuccessful in contacting the OUTDOORS USER
or any members of the party, telephone 111 (or if outside New
Zealand call +64 4 381 2000) ask for the Police and tell them
you wish to report a missing person(s) who is on a trip in the
outdoors and has not returned by the expected date and time.
You will need to provide the Police with the information below.
Remember to tell your Trusted Contact as soon as you have
returned safely, to avoid unnecessary alarm and possible
involvement from New Zealand Police.
