Hazards in Hawke's Bay |
Hawke’s Bay is a community often reminded of the impact of disasters, whether it is in the form of earthquakes, flooding, drought or volcanic eruptions.
In 1931 parts of Hawke’s Bay were devastated by an earthquake, which caused the loss of 256 lives and damage to property. The community showed its resilience at that time by rebuilding itself, along with assistance from outside the region. Later events, such as Cyclone Bola and the Ruapehu eruptions have also highlighted our vulnerability to a range of geological and meteorological hazards. We also face risk from biological and technological hazards.
