Understanding Risk & Resilience
The North Shore is susceptible to a wide range of hazards and risks, including earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, flooding, sea level rise and extreme weather events, in addition to human–induced hazards such as industrial accidents.
Understanding the risks these hazards pose will help people and communities better prepare for, understand, and reduce disaster and climate risks, and ultimately, enhance the resilience of the North Shore.

Evacuations on the North Shore
Some emergencies — such as wildfires and flooding — may make staying in your home dangerous. In such cases, it may be safer for you to evacuate the area and go to family or friends, or to an emergency reception centre.
Now is the time to get prepared. NSEM has created resources to help those who live, work or travel on the North Shore:
- Find your evacuation zone and sub-zone
- Prepare for an evacuation
- Understand evacuation planning, including what to expect at each stage
