8 Natural Hazards
8.1 Avoidance or Mitigation of Natural Hazard Risk
| Issue: |
A lack of both public awareness and integrated planning increases the likelihood of adverse effects when coastal hazard events occur. |
|
|
| Objective: |
Coastal hazard risk to people and property avoided or mitigated. |
Principal Reasons for Adopting: Natural hazard risk primarily affects people and property above Mean High Water Springs. Therefore, effective management requires an integrated approach to the avoidance or mitigation of hazard risk, involving Environment Waikato, territorial local authorities, iwi and communities. The objective is consistent with the management directions of the RMA and the policies under Ch3.4 of the NZCPS.
