In recent decades, New Zealand's experience of several intense earthquakes and other disaster events has been a catalyst for disaster law developments. IFRC Disaster Law has conducted significant research on New Zealand’s disaster laws, including a case study on disaster risk reduction and a country profile on preparedness for regional and international disaster assistance. New Zealand Red Cross is a key partner to authorities in disaster risk management.
