New Zealand Disasters
Our response, resilience and recovery
New Zealanders have endured phenomenal natural and human disasters throughout the ages.
This inspiring book documents some of these key moments in our history and, more importantly, how we responded and grew stronger; what changes/improvements were made as a result.
Cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, fires, aeroplane crashes, pandemics and other disasters are just some of the many themes covered in this comprehensive, vibrantly illustrated account.
Includes: Outcomes, Safety Tips, and What to Do in an Emergency.
