Vision
Rural sectors, agencies and communities have access to tools to build resilience and develop opportunities.
Project description
Rural communities, economies, and infrastructure are vulnerable to a range of natural hazard risks, from earthquakes, tsunami and volcanoes, as well as extreme weather, wildfire and coastal hazards. Coupled with unique social, economic, cultural and political factors, this creates complex environments in which to build disaster resilience.
The project team are co-producing innovative solutions for enhancing the resilience of rural Aotearoa New Zealand; developing tools, strategies and resources specifically for rural communities, organisations and businesses.
This project is being carried out in three key work streams:
These research priorities have been developed in consultation with our stakeholders and partners in the primary sector.
