New Zealand is a land of many hazards thanks to our position as an island nation on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, ex-tropical storms and wildfires are all within the realm of possibility. Come hear about our nation’s unique risk context and learn about preparedness and resilience strategies from a South Island perspective.
The bar at Errick's will be open before and after this event for coffee and drinks. Nibbles provided after the talk to encourage the conversation to continue.
