Te Pito o Te Ao: Withstanding Crises Through Localised Action Tina Ngata Community cohesion is crucial in times of crisis. For rurally remote communities like Wharekahika and Te Araroa on the East Cape, community cohesion has been fundamental in responses to multiple crises over recent years, including earthquakes, tsunamis, the COVID pandemic and a rising number of climate-related severe storm events. This keynote will reflect upon the value of a strengths-based approach for supporting community-level responses to crises, and what this might mean at a national level for the increasing range of crises we face as a nation.

New Zealand Tsunami Monitoring and Detection Network New Zealand is at risk of experiencing large and catastrophic tsunami. Our improved understanding of this risk has led to the recent investment in New Zealand’s first Tsunami Monitoring and Detection Network. The network, comprising 12 Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) Buoys, is designed to detect tsunami from our biggest and closest threats, stretching from New Caledonia and Tonga to New Zealand coastlines. This session will explore the science underpinning our knowledge of tsunami risk to New Zealand and provide an overview of the new DART buoy network, its operation, technology and how it serves to assist us in better managing the risks we face from tsunami threat.
