About this programme
What makes a house more resilient to flooding? After recent flooding, conversations with councils revealed just how complex housing resilience really is. Led by Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland, A multi-faceted approach towards housing resilience in New Zealand aims to develop a comprehensive approach for post disaster recovery. This study will map out all the elements that influence how well homes in flood-prone areas can withstand and recover from disasters. It aims to identify barriers and build a clearer path to stronger, more resilient housing. The team is also developing a practical tool and framework to help councils assess and improve housing resilience in their communities.
