2021 – A year in review
As we look back at 2021, it’s easy to see how our beautiful country and its unique landscape was formed through geological hazards. Although we cannot prevent geohazards from happening, we can prepare and do our part to keep ourselves and our whānau safe.
Earthquakes
GeoNet located more than 22,000 earthquakes in 2021 in the New Zealand and offshore region (including Kermadecs to the north). The three largest earthquakes this year all occurred on the same day!
