DEVORA Review and Benefit Statement

Abstract

DEVORA has a mandate to investigate the geologic underpinnings, volcanic hazards, and risk posed by the AVF and supports Auckland’s growth as an even more sustainable, resilient and liveable city. In this report we highlight the progress of DEVORA over the past eleven years, in particular how DEVORA has unified researchers and stakeholders in a fully integrated framework to address key issues facing Auckland, and how research findings are being implemented into policy and communicated to stakeholders and the public. We will conclude our report by illustrating how the continuation of this regionally and nationally important research programme will contribute to Auckland remaining a global leader in emergency management.
