Our Science

The Living with Risk theme places people at the centre of risk reduction and resilience.

The Better Resilience Decisions theme aims to help organisations, businesses and agencies make better decisions about natural hazard risks in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Supporting decisions made by the institutions, agencies and businesses who manage risk with tailored information, tools and guidance.

We will further Māori aspirations for disaster resilience science, supporting iwi, hapū and whānau to better understand and manage the impacts of natural hazards.

Disaster risk reduction will benefit from greater uptake of new data applications and emerging technologies.
