The debris flow impact in Roxburgh is not just theoretical- it has happened before, and it is expected to happen again.
That’s why we have created this programme to work together to understand, prepare for and manage the impacts of debris flows hazard in the area.
The map below shows the catchments in the area likely to experience debris flows:
The programme involves two technical projects to help manage the debris flows:
ORC is working closely with Central Otago District Council (CODC) and other stakeholders including Civil Defence Emergency Management Otago (CDEM), New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kothi NZTA) and the Roxburgh community to deliver this programme.
ORC is also working with mana whenua representatives such as Aukaha and Te Ao Marama to make sure that mana whenua are updated all programme progress and technical findings so that they can make informed decisions.
