Natural Hazards publications and reports

A natural hazard is a situation where a natural event has the potential to cause harm or loss.

We help Otago’s territorial authorities with the management of natural hazards in their areas through collaborative initiatives such as the Queenstown Lakes Flood Management Strategy, and the Milton 2060 Strategy.
