AA Insurance's decision to stop offering new home insurance policies in Westport due to flood risks has prompted discussion about the future of climate-based buyouts. There's been debate over whether the Government will fund buyouts for homeowners living in areas at risk for weather damage, with many experts ruling the move as unlikely. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says there's a Natural Hazards scheme in place for homeowners impacted by flooding or landslides - and it's important to ensure people have the right insurance measures in place.

Extreme weather events including torrential rain, flooding, landslides, heat waves and bushfires, as well as longer term changes such as increasing temperatures and sea level rise, take a dramatic toll on our transport infrastructure and the functioning of our road infrastructure networks. This webinar introduced the findings of the Austroads research project ESC6516 Research Climate Change and Natural Hazards Resilience Needs and Guidance Approaches. The project considered resilience across the full transport system lifecycle – Policy, Strategy and Planning, Business Case & Investment, Design and Construction, Network Operations, Maintenance and Renewals, and Monitoring and Evaluation. Through stakeholder consultation and a global literature review, the report sets out a series of recommendations for the strategic development of Austroads guidance to holistically improve the resilience of the land transport system to climate change and natural hazards (CCNH). The webinar shared the projects recommendations on: the definition of a resilient transport system foundational gaps to achieving transport system resilience the model and roadmap for Austroads' guidance development to address these gaps. Whether you're new to CCNH resilience or working to embed it within any part of the transport system lifecycle, this webinar will help you understand how Austroads approach to guidance development will support the development of a resilient transport system.

This is the final part of the LEARNZ virtual field trip to Te Moana-a-Toitehuatahi | Bay of Plenty, one of the most geologically active areas in Aotearoa New Zealand. This region is shaped by fault lines, volcanoes, and the ever-shifting tectonic plates beneath our feet. Join experts Craig Miller from Earth Sciences NZ and Daniel Pearce from Tauranga District Council answer some very interesting questions from ākonga, including whether it was a good idea to do a back flip in an earthquake! (spoiler alert - no! you should drop, cover, hold!) Thanks to The Natural Hazards Commission – Toka Tū Ake for funding this LEARNZ virtual field trip. Visit learnz.org.nz/hazards254 for the full trip with educational materials including the field trip videos.

Picture this: You're a medical professional on a routine work trip when suddenly you're playing a real-life game of survival that makes Bear Grylls look like a weekend camper. Meet Tiffany Slaton, the dialysis tech from Georgia who accidentally became the Sierra Nevada's most badass temporary resident. What started as just another day at the office turned into a 24-day masterclass in "how to not die in the mountains." Tiffany didn't just survive—she MacGyvered her way through multiple blizzards, turned her medical training into wilderness wizardry, and basically gave Mother Nature a run for her money while rescue teams played the world's most stressful game of hide-and-seek. This isn't your typical "lost hiker gets found" story. This is about a woman who stared down hypothermia, outsmarted starvation, and somehow kept her sanity while trapped in America's most unforgiving mountain range. Spoiler alert: the mountains blinked first.

Working with the NHERI SimCenter and DesignSafe, the CHEER team is developing a software framework called Stakeholder-based Tool for the Analysis of Regional Risk, or STARR. STARR modeling extends regional loss models like R2D, INCORE, and Hazus to include a focus on decision making. STARR models describe the complex and often conflicting ways that stakeholders in vulnerable coastal areas make decisions. Stakeholders are households, insurers, and government agencies. If policies can account for positive outcomes for all stakeholders, they're more likely to be implemented and sustained. Learn more about the CHEERHub https://www.drc.udel.edu/cheer/ Read about the NHERI-CHEER partnership https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2024/july/nheri-partners-cheer-hub-hurricane-decision-making-framework/ HAZUS developed by FEMAhttps://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/products-tools/hazus INCORE developed by NISThttps://www.nist.gov/community-resilience/center-excellence NHERI SimCenter R2D toolhttps://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/research-tools/r2dtool/ CHEERHub's NSF award summaryhttps://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2209190&HistoricalAwards=false CHEERHub on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/cheer-hub/posts/?feedView=all Rachel Davidson is an accomplished academic and research engineer.

Geotechnical engineer Alejandro Martínez joins us to discuss a new and multidisciplinary engineering subfield called biogeotechnics. “Bioinspired” research examines and mimics ways that plants, animals and bacteria successfully interact with soil. For example: how tree roots successfully resist wind loads. “Biomediated” research uses biological elements to improve soil. For example, byproducts of certain bacteria can cement and desaturate soil — potentially preventing liquefaction in susceptible areas. Read up on Professor Martínez's research at UC Davis:https://faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu/martinez/ Follow Alejandro Martínez on X: @MartVAlejandro Background info on Martínez's snakeskin-inspired piles:https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2022/august/piles-inspired-snakeskin/ Using centrifugal force to study natural hazards at the NHERI at UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlLTdPaOUFk Follow the Center for Geotechnical Modeling on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Center-for-Geotechnical-Modeling/100063111107077/ Questions about NHERI or NHERI extreme events research?Contact us: nheri.communications@gmail.comKeywords: biocementation, biodesaturation, liquefaction, biogeotechnics, geotechnical engineering, ground improvement, soil improvement

A good start to disaster preparedness is knowing the risks you should be prepared for based on where you live. That's a big part of Jonathan Sury's work. Jonathan is the Project Director for Communications and Field Operations at the National Center for Disaster Preparedness. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Population and Family Health at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.   Jonathan leads a project called the Natural Hazards Index, which maps local vulnerability to various disasters at the sub-county level. Everything including extreme heat, earthquakes, landslides, tornadoes, and floods. The project's interactive map allows users to zoom in and assess climate, weather and geological hazards in their vicinity. That way, people can learn to take proactive measures to safeguard themselves and their families.  Today we're talking with Jonathan about the Natural Hazards Index, the importance of preparedness, how data can help individual households and communities alike, and what we should be paying attention to amid the changing disaster landscape.

The Insurance Council is backing calls for Kiwis to lift their understanding of the risks of natural hazards. The Reserve Bank has released an excerpt on insurance in its upcoming Financial Stability Report. It says insurers, Government, home buyers and lenders all need to up their knowledge, so that future insurance affordability challenges, can be better managed. Insurance Council chief executive Kris Faafoi says it's likely more places will become harder to insure as more risks are identified. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From landslides and wildfires to floods and tornadoes, Bruce Malamud has spent his career travelling the world and studying natural hazards. Today, he is Wilson Chair of Hazard and Risk and Executive Director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience at Durham University - but as he tells Jim Al-Khalili, a lifelong passion for discovery has taken Bruce from volunteering with the Peace Corps in West Africa and a Fulbright Fellowship in Argentina, to fieldwork in India; not only studying hazards themselves, but also the people they affect - and building up the character and resilience to overcome personal tragedy along the way... Over the years, his work in the field has opened up new ways of understanding such events: from statistical modelling to show how groups of hazards occur, to examining the cascading relationships between multiple hazards. And today, his focus is on projects that can bring tangible benefits to people at serious risk from environmental hazards - finding innovative ways to help them to better manage that threat.

In this episode, Rob and Jo discuss the CSB's investigation report on the 2020 toxic gas release and chemical fire at Bio-Lab Facility in Westlake, Louisiana. On August 27, 2020, strong winds from Hurricane Laura damaged buildings at the facility, causing rainwater to come into contact with the trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) that was stored inside. A chemical reaction began, and the TCCA began to decompose, releasing heat that started a fire, while also releasing a large amount of hazardous gases that traveled offsite. Today, Rob and Jo provide some background about this Bio-Lab facility, discuss the events surrounding the incident, and cover the consequences of the incident. Then they discuss the CSB's five identified safety issues that contributed to the event, what types of companies might be at risk for similar events, and how any facility can prevent an incident like this one.

EPISODE 3NHERI Tallwood: Testing earthquake performance of mass timber productsIn our final episode with NHERI Tallwood co-PI Jeff Berman, we learn about some of the wood products used in this 10-story wood structure — such as mass-plywood panels, cross-laminated timber, and laminated veneer lumber. Industry partners like Boise Cascade and Freres Engineered Wood have donated many mass-timber components, wanting to discover if they are resilient to earthquake loading.“This ten-story building has just about every type of mass timber that is currently made in it.”-- Jeff Berman Here's a list of industry partners working with the NHERI Tallwood team, including wood product manufacturers: http://nheritallwood.mines.edu/collaboration.html @Boise_Cascade @NHERI_UCSD @UCSanDiego @UCSDJacobs @NSF @slpei @commresilience @MinesCEE @coschoolofmines @uwengineering #NHERITallwood #CLT #Crosslaminatedtimber #CLT #massTimber #naturalhazards #resilience #NSFfunded #earthquakeEngineering #NSFStoriesGet the backstory on NHERI Tallwood: http://nheritallwood.mines.edu/ DYK?

In this episode, our midwestern colleagues take the podcast by storm (pun intended). John and Molly talk about how tornadoes and other natural hazards can be accounted for in both emergency planning and as part of a robust Process Hazard Analysis (PHA). They'll cover routine drills, evacuation, and shelter in place practices, muster points and emergency response, and their opinions on complacency towards repeated drills. Whether you too, find yourself in Tornado Alley, or if you're located elsewhere, you'll want to stick around for this episode.
