Join the the conversation in this presentation with the New Zealand Geotechnical Society. Engineers have traditionally played a critical role in supporting that development through established, robust analysis and design practice. But engineers are well-placed to contribute beyond individual projects and play a larger role in natural hazard risk management.
This presentation explores how engineers can extend their influence beyond individual structures to strengthen the wider systems shaping New Zealand’s resilience to natural hazards.
Presenter Bio:
Caleb Dunne is a Principal Advisor, Risk Reduction at the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake (NHC). With a background in structural and earthquake engineering, he combines technical expertise in the built environment with strategic experience in natural hazard risk reduction and resilience. Caleb's work focuses on enabling risk-informed decision-making, from government policy to individual homebuyers.
He works at the intersection of research, practice, policy, and insurance to translate complex risk information intro practical actions that deliver better resilience outcomes.
New Zealand faces known, significant natural hazard risks. And that risk is growing, compounded by a changing climate and systemic housing and development pressures.
