About the听group
Aotearoa New 蜜桃儿直播 is located on the Pacific 鈥榬im of fire,鈥 and has one of the most physically dynamic landscapes and environments in the world. Floods, droughts, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis threaten a rapidly-growing, high-income economy, driving collaboration between policy, practice research, and local communities, and increasing demand for disaster risk reduction. 鈥嬏
The Disaster Risk and Resilience (DRR) Group, based out of the 蜜桃儿直播, is at the forefront of disaster resilience research and implementation both in Aotearoa New 蜜桃儿直播, and internationally. The group brings together a cluster of researchers across an array of disciplines, united by a passion for hazards and innovative research.听
罢丑别听听calls for a broader, more people-centred, preventative approach to disaster risk reduction, in which communities, government and private sectors, civil society organisations, academia, and research institutions work together to build resilience and develop collaborative disaster risk reduction practices.鈥 To address this, the cluster also hosts a professional Master of Disaster Risk and Resilience.
The DRR Group plays a leading role in a number of interdisciplinary projects and resilience initiatives. Current and completed research undertaken by members of the Group includes projects and programmes funded by the听听programme (including the Rural, Multi-hazards Risk Management and Resilience in Practice programmes), the听, and the听听听
