Regional hazards and emergency management

Regional Hazards

Hazards and emergencies in the Waikato region are managed by the Regional Hazards team. The teams aim is to identify, collate, analyse and provide regional scale hazard information. Our main goal is to ensure the risks from hazards are reduced over time and that sound decision making results in respect to future development of hazard prone areas. The team is involved in everything from flood warning, to oil spills in our oceans.

Effective hazard planning shapes the places where people live and work and the country we live in. It plays a key role in supporting WRC’s wider economic, cultural, social, and environmental objectives and for sustainable communities.
