Natural Hazard Risk Communication Toolbox
Auckland Council, in conjunction with GNS Science, have developed a Natural Hazard Risk Communications Toolbox. The purpose of this toolbox is to increase understanding of basic hazard and risk concepts by providing consistent content for communication materials used within council and externally to stakeholders, politicians and the community. The toolbox is currently being finalised and will be published here as soon as it is available.
National Hazardscape Report
National Hazardscape Report
The National Hazardscape Report is the first New Zealand Government report to provide a thorough description of the New Zealand hazardscape. The National Hazardscape Report is a non-statutory document aimed at informing policy makers, hazard managers and their advisors in carrying out hazard and risk management at the national and local level.
Template for Consistent Hazard Event Reporting
Template for Consistent Hazard Event Reporting (178 KB)
These are templates for comprehensive post hazard event reporting. The template will provide reports for two main purposes: To provide detailed data for scientific research, calibrating hazard and risk models to improve their robustness and aiding impact scenario development for historic and pre-historic events. To provide a record of hazard impacts and so allow a database of hazard impacts to be developed and integrated for future decision-making. The intention is that somebody wanting to understand the causes and consequences of any given event, reported using this template, will be able to find a comprehensive overview of the event. This will be both in the template, and in associated reports.
Ruapehu Lahar Residual Risk Assessment
Ruapehu Lahar Residual Risk Assessment
The report assesses residual risks associated with a lahar (fluid and debris flow event) generated on Ruapehu, a volcanic mountain in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand. It was undertaken for the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management in 2002 and addresses response and management issues arising from the range of possible lahar flow scenarios.
