Our Programmes & Themes
Living with Risk
The Living with Risk theme places people at the centre of risk reduction and resilience.
Better Resilience Decisions
The Better Resilience Decisions theme aims to help organisations, businesses and agencies make better decisions about natural hazard risks in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Next Generation Risk Assessment
In a nation highly-exposed to natural hazards, we need to understand the potential consequences for our communities, homes and infrastructure.
Vision Mātauranga
The Vision Mātauranga programme builds Māori resilience capability, partnerships, knowledge and influence. It is designed to move Māori from participation in resilience science, to leadership within the resilience system.
Data and Enabling Technologies
In the face of ever-increasing challenges driven by climate change, it has never been more important to reduce our risks from natural hazards. We can accelerate these efforts by turning to new technologies.
funding grants
These grants were designed to retain essential capability in the natural hazards and resilience research system, and make progress on priority work during the Platform's establishment phase.
The projects all support students, post-doctoral positions and other early career researchers.
Following the Severe Wind Event in October 2025, we funded five projects looking at;
1) people’s responses to severe weather warnings and watches, and
2) social and economic impacts of infrastructure disruption.
