New Zealand is in the southwest Pacific Ocean astride the “ring
of fire,” a distinct belt of volcanic and earthquake activity
that surrounds the Pacific Ocean

To the north of New Zealand and beneath the eastern North Island, the thin, dense, Pacific plate moves down beneath the thicker, lighter Indo-Australian plate in a process known as subduction.

AUCKLAND VOLCANIC FIELD
• The Auckland volcanic field underlies much of the metropolitan area of Auckland.
• Now dormant, but considered likely to erupt again, the field's many vents have produced a diverse array of explosion craters, scoria cones, and lava flows in the past.

A DISASTER is ---
--- the set of failures that overwhelm the capability of a community to respond without external help when three continuums: 1) people, 2) community (i.e., a set of habitats, livelihoods, and social constructs), and 3) complex events (e.g., earthquakes, landslides,..) intersect at a point in space and time.
![Page 30: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Disasters are caused by single- or multiple-event natural hazards that, (for various reasons), cause
extreme levels of mortality, morbidity, homelessness,
joblessness, economic losses, or environmental impacts.
![Page 31: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• When it does happen, the functions of the community’s buildings and infrastructure will be LOST because they are UNPROTECTED with the appropriate codes and standards.
![Page 32: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community is UN-PREPARED for what will likely happen, not to mention the low-probability of occurrence—high-probability of adverse consequences event.
![Page 33: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community has NO DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIO or WARNING SYSTEM in place as a strategic framework for concerted local, national, regional, and international countermeasures.
![Page 34: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community LACKS THE CAPACITY TO RESPOND in a timely manner to the full spectrum of expected and unexpected emergency situations.
![Page 35: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community is INEFFICIENT during recovery and reconstruction because it HAS NOT LEARNED from either the current experience or the cumulative prior experiences.
![Page 36: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

NEW ZEALAND’S HISTORIC VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
![Page 43: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
New Zealand’s volcanic history dates back 60-130
million years, ranging from supervolcanoes to today’s activity consisting of minor
eruptions every few years as a result of NZ’s location in
the Pacific Ring of Fire
![Page 44: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
NEW ZEALAND’S PAST ERUPTIONS
• New Zealand has been the site of many large explosive eruptions during the last two million years, including several of the supervolcano size.
• Notable eruptions include: Macauley Island, Taupo, Whakamaru, Mangakino, Reporoa, Rotoura, and Haroharo.
![Page 45: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
TAUPO VOLCANO
• The Oruanui eruption, 26,500 years ago from the Taupo volcano, was the world's largest known eruption in the past 70,000 years, with a VEI of 8.
![Page 46: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
TAUPO VOLCANO
• Most of New Zealand was covered with ash that reached 18 cm (7 in) at the Chatham Islands 1,000 km (620 mi) from the volcano.
![Page 47: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
TAUPO VOLCANO
• Subsequent erosion and sedimentation had long-lasting effects on the landscape, causing the Waikato River to shift from the Hauraki Plains to its current course through the Waikato to the Tasman Sea.

TAUPO VOLCANO
• Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake, now fills the caldera formed in this eruption.

NEW ZEALAND’S RECENT VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
![Page 50: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Even if future eruptions are minor, the people of New
Zealand are still at high risk from the ash fall, lahars, and
tsunamis associated with them.
![Page 51: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
RUAPEHU
• Ruapehu's 1945 eruption dammed its crater with tephra, which contributed to the Tangiwai disaster of December 24, 1953 when the Tangiwai railway bridge across the Whangaehu River collapsed from a revitalized lahar, killing 151.
![Page 52: LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS NEW ZEALAND PART 4: VOLCANOES Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efe5503460f94c13774/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
RUAPEHU
• Ash plumes from Ruapehu's 1996 eruption forced the closure of eleven airports, including Auckland’s International Airport.
