The Wellington region - surrounded by sea and on the edge of a tectonic plate - gets more than its share of earthquakes and inclement weather. This creates all sorts of hazards from ground shaking to floods to landslides and even wildfire.
With large population centres and industrial areas we are also vulnerable to pandemics, such as influenza, and human-made hazards like chemical spills.
On these pages you can find out about the
hazards that affect our region and what
you can do to reduce their impacts.
