Waikato Regional Hazards Portal

The Waikato Regional Hazards Portal is an online, publicly accessible source of hazard information for the Waikato Region. It has been developed to improve access to hazard information, and to help the public, local authorities and others make informed decisions about their exposure to natural hazards.The Portal contains spatial hazard information that is held by Waikato Regional Council, as well as some data from other organisations. New and updated information will be added as required. It is intended to partially replace the online request for flood hazard information, although this service will still be available to answer specific questions and to provide flood levels.

The hazards portal gives access to a range of hazard data, including: - river flooding - river flood protection works and land drainage - coastal erosion (shoreline change) - tsunami - coastal inundation (coastal inundation tool) - earthquakes and landslides - volcanoes and geothermal hazards These are provided in a map based viewing tool.
