New Zealand Hazardscape New Zealand has a broad range of hazards: “sometimes it does us a power of good to remind ourselves that we live on two volcanic rocks where two tectonic plates meet, in a somewhat lonely stretch of windswept ocean just above the Roaring Forties. If you want drama – you’ve come to the right place” Sir Geoffrey Palmer
