AF8 Roadshow 6 May 7.00pm

Coxon Hall, Greymouth High School

While we can’t predict when earthquakes will occur, scientific research has shown that the Alpine Fault has a history of generating regular, large earthquakes. The next event is likely to occur within the lifetime of most of us, or our children and young people, for whom this is likely to have major short and long-term impacts.

The AF8 Roadshow provides South Island communities, in areas most likely to be affected by an AF8 earthquake, with direct access to Alpine Fault science and hazard impact information relevant to them and their region.

AF8 draws on world-leading research to help increase our preparedness to the next Alpine Fault earthquake. The AF8 Roadshow shares this science beneath our feet with communities around the South Island through a series of public science talks.

The Roadshow is made possible with funding from EQC – The Earthquake Commission. A large thank you to them and all our supporters – the 6 South Island CDEM Groups, EQC – The Earthquake Commission, Resilience to Nature's Challenges, QuakeCoRE and GNS Science, and our University partners: University of Otago, University of Canterbury and the University of Auckland – we couldn't do this without you!
