Information sources for hazard registers
Information for registers can be sourced from:
- hazard analysts or consultants, undertaking hazard identification and analysis
- property owners, developers or their consultants, submitting applications for subdivision and building consents
- interviews with long-term residents of an area (local anecdotal knowledge)
- Council's engineering staff, engineers of infrastructure providers, or consulting engineers, carrying out engineering investigations for infrastructure works
- council staff involved in processing, issuing and monitoring building consents
- emergency management personnel or local residents reporting the effects of hazard events such as flooding, land-slips, or wind damage
- consulting or council engineers, investigating proposals or consent applications for coastal works or structures. (This information will be contained within consent application files.)
- researchers, such as university or Crown Research Institute personnel
- regional or district council engineers, or engineering consultants, carrying out catchment-wide studies to establish flood-management regimes
- rural fire officers, establishing or reviewing the existence of forest areas and their safety margins, or identifying potential fire hazards in their districts.
