Eight died in New Zealand landslides due to chronic underinvestment in prevention and outdated land-use laws.
Eight people died in recent New Zealand landslides, underscoring the country’s ongoing failure to reduce risks from the deadliest natural hazard, despite repeated tragedies.
Since 2010, only 3% of NZ’s NZ$19 billion natural hazard spending went to prevention, with 97% on response and recovery.
Outdated land-use laws limit local councils’ ability to restrict development in high-risk zones, and poor coordination among agencies, inconsistent national data, and climate change threats worsen vulnerability.
Experts warn that continued underinvestment in risk reduction will lead to greater loss of life and higher costs.
