A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck the Canterbury Region of New Zealand at 4:35 am on 4 September 2010. It was centred 11 km beneath rural town Darfield, Greendale fault, which previously unidentified. Christchurch City lies 40 east and home to a population approximately 370,000 time earthquake. There extensive damage as result MM9 shaking, particularly buildings infrastructure, but fortunately there were no deaths. The residents began recovery process, plagued by frequent aftershocks. Then,...
This paper presents the results of an online survey New Zealand public (n = 1364), conducted in 2015, that tested influence impact-based severe weather warnings on risk perceptions and intended protective actions. We used a hypothetical event involving strong winds, with 50% participants receiving warning, more traditional phenomenon-based warning (which this case is when wind speed expected to be higher than given number). Our indicate may effective influencing recipient's perception...
Abstract Warnings about impending hazards help to minimize the impacts and reduce risk of hazard through encouraging an appropriate timely behavioral response. Many hydrometeorological agencies are moving toward impact-based forecast warning (IBFW) systems, as encouraged by World Meteorological Organization. Yet little research has been conducted on such systems from perspectives who or would be involved in their implementation. We investigated challenges benefits IBFW perceived participants...
Abstract This article empirically examines the effectiveness of earthquake early warning (EEW) in Japan based on experiences residents who received warnings before shaking occurred. In Study 1, a survey ( N = 299) was conducted to investigate residents’ of, and reactions to, an EEW issued Gunma neighboring regions June 17, 2018. The main results were as follows. (1) People's primary mental, not physical, thus motionless. Most stayed still, for safety reasons, but because they focusing...
The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) began with the Darfield earthquake on 4 September 2010. Continual large and small aftershocks since that time have meant communities cycled through repeated periods of impact, response recovery. Scientific communication about during such a prolonged sequence has faced distinct challenges. We conducted research to better understand aftershock information needs for agencies public, how people interpreted responded information. found wide range was...
Abstract Earthquake early warning (EEW) can be used to detect earthquakes and provide advanced notification of strong shaking, allowing pre-emptive actions taken that not only benefit infrastructure but reduce injuries fatalities. Currently Aotearoa New Zealand does have a nationwide EEW system, so survey the public was undertaken understand whether considered useful acceptable by public, as well perceptions how when such warnings should communicated, before making an investment in...
The communication of scientific information to stakeholders is a critical component an effective Volcano Early Warning System. Volcanic Alert Level (VAL) systems are used in many countries as tool within early warning communicate complex volcanic simple form, from which response decisions can be made. Such tools need meet the requirements wide range end-users, including emergency managers, aviation industry, media, and public. They also usable by scientists who determine alert levels based...
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems are used to detect earthquakes and provide advanced notice of strong shaking intensity, allowing people take pre-emptive actions that benefit the health infrastructure life-safety public. With advancement technical research EEWs, there is also an increasing need understand EEW's potential impacts on society. In this study, we investigated perspectives various sectors in Aotearoa New Zealand EEW. We focus groups interviews with multiple sectors,...
The 15 January 2022, Hunga Tonga Ha'apai volcanic eruption generated a tsunami that spread across the Pacific Ocean and prompted advisory in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). Concurrently, severe weather warning was issued for ex-Tropical Cyclone Cody, passing east of NZ producing heightened swells along North Island coast. Numerous boats were significantly damaged or sunk Tūtūkākā Marina, Northland, NZ. Mariners raised concerns over perceived lack warnings. We interviewed mariners to understand...
Abstract Seismic data recorded before volcanic eruptions provides important clues for forecasting. However, limited monitoring histories and infrequent restrict the available training forecasting models. We propose a transfer machine learning approach that identifies eruption precursors—signals consistently change eruptions—across multiple volcanoes. Using seismic from 41 at 24 volcanoes over 73 years, our forecasts unobserved (out-of-sample) Tested without target volcano, model demonstrated...

This study examines people's response actions in the first 30 min after shaking stopped following earthquakes Christchurch and Wellington, New Zealand, Hitachi, Japan. Data collected from 257 respondents Christchurch, 332 204 Wellington revealed notable similarities some immediately stopped. In all four events, people were most likely to contact family members seek additional information about situation. However, there differences among events frequency of resuming previous activities....
Abstract Impact forecasts and warnings (IFW) are key to resilience for hydrometeorological hazards. Communicating the potential social, economic, environmental hazard impacts allows individuals communities adjust their plans better prepare consequences of hazard. IFW systems require additional knowledge about underlying vulnerability exposure. Lack data or impacts, vulnerability, exposure has been identified as a challenge implementation. In this study, we begin address by developing an...
