‘The choices we make now and in the future can reduce what the impact of an Alpine Fault earthquake will be’ says University of Canterbury Prof Tom Wilson at the AF8 roadshow.

'Knowledge is power'! Communities in Ōtautahi Christchurch heard from the amazing University of Canterbury Professor Tom Wilson at last week’s AF8 Roadshow. Tom loves being part of the roadshow and explains how science can help everyone better prepare for an Alpine Fault earthquake.

Toka Tū Ake EQC /NZSEE Ivan Skinner winner Dr Lucas Hogan will use prize money to further improve building practices for earthquake resilience. Read more about why the senior lecturer from University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau won and how our safety is a big motivation: bit.ly/3WbxFbO

New research, funded by Toka Tū Ake EQC, is filling a ‘gap’ in understanding about the interaction of rivers and the faults underneath them. Erin McEwan from University of Canterbury says earthquakes can change flood hazards & puts communities at risk: eqc.govt.nz/news/new-resea…

After visiting 22 locations, the amazing AF8 roadshow has helped many of our communities better understand and prepare for a large-scale earthquake. One of the key messages is to take steps to prepare now, and our Public Education Manager Hamish Armstrong has some tips.

The Hikurangi Subduction Zone short documentary has more than 1.3m views on YouTube, covering the latest research into Aotearoa NZ’s largest and most active fault. Watch it below, made in partnership with GNS Science Te Pū Ao, East Coast LAB | Hikurangi Subduction Zone M9 & National Emergency Management Agency. youtu.be/m_1dD2IbV70

Check out the amazing work our partner, GNS Science Te Pū Ao, is doing to monitor natural hazards, using the data to help inform emergency management and grow a more resilient Aotearoa New Zealand. Tino pai!

We’re helping to build a resilient future for Aotearoa by funding valuable natural hazard resilience research. Today, our 2024 Biennial Research Funding Programme opens its doors to interest from passionate scientists and researchers. Find out more: rb.gy/skj7g

Innovative new research from our friends is building a ‘catalogue’ of different scenarios to understand what the impacts of an Alpine Fault earthquake could look like for the South Island. Listen below to find out how it’s helping communities to prepare.

We’re proud to partner once again with National Emergency Management Agency for the 11th annual Shakeout! We were at the Beehive yesterday for the launch of this year’s ShakeOut, practicing our Drop Cover Holds ahead of October’s earthquake drill. 19 October at 9.30am – mark it in your calendars!

More amazing work from our friends at GNS Science Te Pū Ao ! It’s why we co-fund the Our Fault programme - it's great to see how science continues to build our knowledge of the faults underneath us, which ultimately allows us to plan better, and keep building our resilience.

We’re funding Dr Dr Lauren Vinnell ’s research - if you’re in the Auckland area, please fill in the short survey below. Your answers are important to help understand why we do, or don’t prepare for earthquakes in low seismic areas.

Fantastic news for rangatahi in our communities! Really proud to fund such great work, helping our next generation of Kiwis understand the science behind natural hazards and how to be better prepared. East Coast LAB | Hikurangi Subduction Zone M9 AF8

Quake City is a must-visit, connecting people to the science & experiences from the Canterbury earthquakes. We've agreed to fund it for another 3 years, which'll help Canterbury Museum provide a free entry weekend every year & deliver the experience to schools. rb.gy/s06jb

Ka pai! Just like Kenzie below, we’re a proud supporter of ShakeOut. Make sure to register for this year’s event to be more prepared and be in to win some fab prizes.

Congratulations to the natural hazard scientists who’ve secured funding for our latest University Research Programme. We’re excited to see what you learn and what new knowledge you bring to Aotearoa New Zealand! Find out more on our website: shorturl.at/fkqQ1

Amazing work team AF8, we’re really proud to support your work!

We're proud to be partnering with Canterbury Museum to provide free entry to Quake City this weekend. Our funding means that the science behind the Canterbury quakes, as well as the stories and lessons, can continue to be shared with people of all ages. shorturl.at/gnrDQ

Our Natural Hazards Portal makes it easy to find information about natural hazard risks and the way these hazards have affected buildings and land. We can use our knowledge of the past to inform and build a resilient future. Check out naturalhazardsportal.govt.nz/s/

Just one month to go until we practise our Drop Cover Hold and tsunami hīkoi for this year’s ShakeOut with National Emergency Management Agency! Don’t forget to sign up for the chance to win prizes.
