Natural hazard risk modelling is about figuring out how events like earthquakes, floods, or tsunamis could affect people, property, and the environment. It looks at how likely these events are, how strong they might be, and what’s in harm’s way. This helps communities and organisations plan ahead, reduce risks, and respond better when disasters happen.

In 2022 the Government implemented its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) which seeks to put in place measures for New Zealand to adapt to the impacts of climate change and address the risks identified in the National Climate Change Risk Assessment (NCCRA).

Two journeys of discovery led to the naming of these features in Fiordland’s Tamatea / Dusky Sound.

Botanist Joseph Banks’ hope of New Zealand being the ‘great southern continent’ were dashed when the HMB Endeavour rounded the southernmost point of Stewart Island / Rakiura and only ocean lay beyond. In 1998 the Ngāi Tahu Treaty settlement restored the original Māori name to the cape.

Named after the naturalist Joseph Banks, Banks Peninsula was shown on maps as an island for forty years until an 1809 survey.

Alternative official names for this Te Ika-a-Māui North Island feature recognise the great Pacific navigator Kupe and Sir Hugh Palliser, who was a key supporter of Cook in the British Admiralty.

While the HMB Endeavour was under repair in Meretoto / Ship Cove, Cook took a small boat and crew to explore Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui.
