New Zealand: composite hazard map
Date:Jul 2007
Source(s):United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OCHA ROAP)
Original title: New Zealand: natural hazard risks
This map illustrates New Zealand's exposure to seismic, volcanic and tropical storm hazard.
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years ; tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of a storm of this intensity striking in the next 10 years.
The map is based on data provided by: UN Cartographic Section, Global Discovery,FAO, Smithsonian Institute, Pacific Disaster Center, UNISYS, Munich Reinsurance.

Natural Hazards and Risks
Natural hazards are part of New Zealand’s DNA – and climate change is increasing both the risks and the impacts of hazard events. Managing our increasing exposure to these natural hazards is critical to our future well-being and prosperity. GNS Science ensures our management of these risks is based on scientific evidence. Our extensive knowledge of earth sciences, companied with social science research into communication, resilience and preparedness, helps us span the full value chain of information.
What we do:
- We provide better information about causes, frequency and consequences of hazard events, which will reduce risks
- Our comprehensive modelling allows for better management of risks through land use planning, emergency response and investment in risk mitigation
- Early warning and forecasting reduces the impact of hazards on people and infrastructure
- Our research is embedded in government policy so New Zealanders can plan and respond to natural hazards

Theme leader: Gill Jolly
Gill is a volcanologist from the UK, who after researching magma physics for her PhD, started work at the British Geological Survey. After exploring for gold and base metals in the UK, Gill became involved in monitoring the eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 1995 to 2005.
In 2006 she moved to GNS Science where she led the Volcanology team through New Zealand and South West Pacific eruptions, and subsequently led the Natural Hazards Division through the response to the 2016 M7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake. Gill is also a member of the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor Forum and acts as a conduit between the natural hazards research community and senior decision-makers.
