and Disaster Risk Management
When: Tuesday 31st May 0900-1200

Host: GNS / The Earthquake Commission
The call for evidence to underpin disaster risk management (DRM) is wide-
spread, but the engagement between researchers and practitioners is not, as yet,
connected up as well as it could be. This workshop provides an opportunity for
the DRM sector to engage with and influence the research direction of the
principal actors in natural hazard research in New Zealand
WORKSHOP

Impacts and Consequences of Tsunamis:
Planning for Exercise Tangaroa
When: Tuesday 31st May 1300-1600
Venue: Theatre Room, Royal Society of New
Zealand, 11 Turnbull Street, Thorndon,
Wellington
Host: MCDEM
In a large-scale disaster there are a number of issues that arise that we will need
to anticipate and accommodate as part of our response to a large-scale event
such as a tsunami that affects all of New Zealand. The workshop will look at the
big picture of a major disaster response and exploring the urban search and
rescue, disaster victim identification, mass casualty, international, media,
economic, and science and research implications and obligations. This workshop
will help those participating in Exercise Tangaroa (the national tsunami exercise
to be held in August and September 2016), but will also be of value for those
involved in wider response and recovery planning.

community and neighbourhood resilience. We will use case studies as a platform
to ignite discussion on how to leverage off existing stakeholder and community
relationships to ensure a city-wide integrated approach to emergency welfare
planning and delivery (and subsequent social recovery).
WORKSHOP

authorities both in ‘peacetime’ and during an event.
- identifying where the opportunities are to share learnings, resources and
trainings between groups, regions and MCDEM.
We’ll also cover some of the PIM plans for Exercise Tangaroa and how and why
Groups should get involved.

workshops held during April, and what we’ve heard and learnt over the last two
days of the conference. We will seek to summarise and define our challenges and
work on priorities for action, including innovative approaches. This is not about
sitting back and listening, this is a very real opportunity to have your say and be a
part of working out how we reduce risk and build resilience at a local, regional,
and national level, in the short, medium, and long term.

Innovative Approaches to Risk Assessment
When: Friday 3rd June 1300-1600
Venue: Meetings on the Terrace
152 The Terrace, Wellington
Host: MCDEM
Providing accurate, current, and easily understandable risk information is crucial
to the governance and management of risk. It is a key area of priority in the
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and an area that has long-since
been identified as requiring more attention in New Zealand. This workshop will
look at ways to improve the risk assessment process, including developing better
scenario-based assessments for more focused management of risk, and
processes for consideration of ‘unthinkable’ or ‘black swan’ events alongside
more familiar events. We will examine some innovative work that is being
undertaken at the national and local levels, and look at ways we could improve
and standardise our approach to the measurement, assessment, analysis, and
interrogation of risk information in the future.
WORKSHOP

develop a shared understanding of how scientists can support emergency
managers and vice versa.
