Among countries located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) and the United States of America’s (USA) west coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California share similar hazards and are located at similar relational latitudes.
The two countries have collaborated over the years on emergency management to share ideas and best practices. Less explored are the similarities and differences between the transportation sector’s air- and seaports’ emergency management.
This research project seeks to bridge that gap.
For Aotearoa New Zealand & United States of America (West Coast) Air- & Seaports: take the Emergency Management/ Preparedness Survey.
Once the raw data and the synthesis from the Comparisons Between New Zealand and United States Air- and Seaport Emergency Management research project is available, it will be shared here.
