The Natural Hazards Centre was established in 2002 by NIWA and GNS Science, New Zealand's leading hazard Crown Research Institutes. Its role is to provide New Zealanders with a single point of contact for the latest natural hazard research, resources, and scientific expertise. Its strength lies in multidisciplinary skills, all-hazard coverage, and resources for delivering world-class research to emergency and resource managers, the science community, planners and policy makers.

Our research and services cover the major natural hazards in New Zealand, including:

  • Coastal erosion and inundation
  • Droughts
  • Earthquakes
  • Flooding
  • Landslides
  • Snowfall
  • Storms
  • Tsunami
  • Volcanic activity
