The Joint Centre for Disaster Research explores the impacts of disasters on communities and is a joint venture between Massey University and GNS.



Feeling for those communities up north bracing for potential back-to-back-to-back heavy rain events, it's a truly awful situation. Hopefully they know what they need to do to get through short-term, look after each other, and then receive the support they need to recover

The devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle is a stark reminder of the worsening impacts of climate change. New Zealand’s @NZJCDR and @Interior’s @USGS teams are working together to develop the best science to inform our emergency preparations, response, and recovery.









Met Raj Prasanna, Senior Lecturer @MasseyUni, this afternoon to hear about his efforts to boost collaboration between 🇳🇿 & 🇱🇰 on the provision of emergency management education. I also talked to him and his family about 🇳🇿’s 🇱🇰 community.

It was great to be at the final demonstration day of the CRISiSLab Challenge 2022 - we loved seeing students from Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington high schools present their early earthquake warning systems using Raspberry Shake seismometers. @NZJCDR @MasseyUni @EQCNZ @raspishake
