Vision
For resilience decision-making in Aotearoa New Zealand to be supported by world-leading forecasting models and decision-making tools that quantify the economic, social and environmental impacts of multihazards.
Programme description
Natural hazards often do not occur on their own but as part of a cascade of triggered events, or at the same time as other natural hazards by coincidence. These possibilities involve interactions and dependencies in hazard, impact, exposure and vulnerability that have not yet been understood or integrated into resilience modelling and decision-making.
We aim to provide resilience decision-makers with tools and methodologies that account for dynamic risk processes so they can plan for the impacts of multiple hazards. This includes insights into the economic, social and environmental impacts of multi-hazards, and how to ensure resilience planning and recovery efforts align with Te Ao Māori.
To do this, we worked with stakeholders and partners in central and local government and hapū and iwi to:

Kia tautokona ngā whakatau manawaroa i Aotearoa e ngā tauira matapae rangatira o te ao me ngā rauemi whakatau hei ine i te maha o ngā pānga o ngā mōrearea-matarau ki te ohanga, pāpori me te taiao.
Whakaahuatanga papatono
I te nuinga o ngā wā, kāore ngā mōrearea taiao e puta tūhāhā engari he āhuatanga kē o tētahi takunetanga e puta haere ana, ka puta orua rānei i te wā ka puta tētahi atu mōrearea taiao. He pāhekohekotanga, he whakawhirinakitanga tō ēnei tūponotanga i roto i ngā mōrearea, pānga, whakaraerae hoki, kāore anō kia māramatia, kia whakauruurutia rānei ki ngā mahi whakatauira manawaroa, whakatau hoki.
E whai ana mātou ki te whakarato i ngā rauemi me ngā tikanga ki ngā kaiwhakatau manawaroa e whakamāramatia nei i ngā pūnaha tūraru hihiri e taea ai e rātou te whakamahere i ngā pānga o ngā tini mōrearea. Ko uru hoki ko ngā tirohanga ki ngā pānga o ngā mōrearea-matarau ki te ohanga, pāpori me te taiao, ā, me pēhea e whakarite e hāngai ana ngā mahere manawaroa me ngā mahi whakaora ki Te Ao Māori.
Hei whakatutuki i tēnei, kei te mahi tahi mātou ki te hunga whaipānga me ngā hoa rangapū i te kāwanatanga ā-motu, ā-rohe, ngā hapū me ngā iwi ki te:
