DEVORA on the world stage

The United Nations Office on Disaster Risk Reduction’s Global Assessment Report (GAR) 2015- Making Development Sustainable: The Future of Disaster Risk Management focuses on major efforts to reduce disaster risk.

The work of DEVORA (DEtermining VOlcanic Risk in Auckland) has been featured in the high-profile international report.

The paper – An integrated approach to Determining Volcanic Risk in Auckland, New Zealand: the multi-disciplinary DEVORA project – also details the multiple challenges relating to the volcanic field.

These include uncertainty over the site and timing of the next eruption in the Auckland region, the need for community communication and pre-disaster preparation and planning, and potential impacts.
