Wednesday, 7 July 2021, 11:42 am Twenty years ago, New Zealand’s natural hazards monitoring was catapulted from weeks-long waits for earthquake information to near instant data streams via GeoNet that now sit underneath nearly all our natural hazard science and emergency management writes EQC Chief Resilience and Research Officer Dr Jo Horrocks. This month we’re celebrating 20 years of GeoNet, the natural hazards monitoring platform established in 2001 by EQC, GNS Science and LINZ, which now includes more than 700 sensors nationwide and the 24/7 National Geohazards Monitoring Centre supported by MBIE. The near instant data streams on earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and volcanoes are critical to helping ....

Published 27 May 2021 Scientists are working to understand how long it might take for people to move out of harm’s way ahead of a future eruption near Auckland, New Zealand. “The next eruption in the Auckland Volcanic Field could happen anywhere in the existing field, either on the land, or in the sea, so estimating how many people might be impacted carries a lot of uncertainty,” says one expert.

Wednesday, 26 May 2021, 10:19 am New research has revealed that many New Zealand businesses are left in the dark around how to make their workplaces earthquake safe. “Our larger businesses are doing very well, but our smaller and medium-sized businesses could do with more support,” says lead researcher Dr Tracy Hatton. Dr Hatton and co-researchers, Sophie Horsfall from Resilient Organisations and Toni Collins from the University of Canterbury were funded by the Earthquake Commission (EQC) to evaluate what safety measures different organisations were using to reduce risks and find out whether seismic safety is a priority for New Zealand businesses. “It is clear that seismic ....
