NIWA develops systems to monitor and predict hazards generated in the atmosphere and the aquatic environment. In 2002 we teamed up with GNS, the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Science, to create the Natural Hazards Centre as a national resource for all hazards information and advice. The centre covers earthquakes, tsunami, floods, storms, landslides, coastal flooding and waves, coastal erosion, and volcanoes.
