Living in New Zealand means accepting and meeting the challenges posed by the natural forces that have shaped our land and our people. We need to be ready for when the ground shakes, or the skies open. Here’s some information to help you understand and act.

Protect your whānau
We all need to be prepared for natural hazards. Thankfully, there are lots of things you can do to make your loved ones safer and your property stronger for natural disasters.
- Learn what natural hazards are most relevant to your area on the Natural Hazards Portal.
- Take big and small actions to prepare your home for a natural hazards event.
- Check your insurance and how NHCover can help you recover from damaging events.
- Make a plan to keep you family safe on the Get Ready website.

Learn more about natural hazards
We support lots of research into natural hazards, how it might affect the land we live in, and resilience for our buildings and infrastructure. You can read more about our research and resilience activities on our website.
