Life on the edge New Zealand’s natural hazards and disasters


Text, photographs, diagrams and maps have been blended in this book to provide the reader with a great read on the natural forces that shape the N.Z. environment. Actual disasters are described, many illustrated with archival photographs, and information given on the impact they have had on the environment and the community. Attention is also given to possible future events, warning systems that are in place and our community’s preparedness to cope.
All of the contents of this publication have been taken from Te Ara, New Zealand’s on-line multi-media encyclopedia. Visit the site @ www.TeAra.govt.nz to find more, including sound clips and moving images.
