DIRT (Disaster Innovation Research and Teaching) is your community resilience initiative, based at Vogelmorn (93 Mornington Road). Together, we can make our neighbourhood become better prepared for a significant earthquake, extreme weather, or other disaster scenario.
This month we are excited to have Professor Jamie Howarth talking to us about earthquake sequences and the consequent impacts. As co-lead of Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke and Associate Professor at the School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences at VUW he has a fantastic perspective to share with us.
Earthquakes are very much in the news this year with significant quakes occurring in Aotearoa and around the world. Is this more than usual? How should we be thinking about them and preparing as a group?
This will be a very interactive session also looking at how what we are doing at DIRT feeds into the work that the Toi Āria and Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke teams are doing to help other people build understanding, preparedness and resilience for disruptive events.
