Small earthquakes are frequently felt across New Zealand and we have active volcanoes in the North Island. EQC funds three distinct regional projects relevant to the different natural hazards in those regions. Each of these involves collaborating with local partners to ensure the practical application of new knowledge and information gained:
Regional projects
It’s Our Fault
More on It’s Our Fault
It looks at the likelihood of large Wellington earthquakes; their effects, including the impact on people and the built environment; and ways to reduce or manage the risks associated with these events.
It's Our Fault is led by GNS Science with Massey University, NIWA, the University of Canterbury and Victoria University. .
EQC contributes funding alongside Wellington City Council, the Wellington Region Emergency Management Group and Greater Wellington Regional Council
