Resilience Explorer supports communities and companies navigating climate change.
We’ve built the solution for decision-makers to navigate climate change, plan for future weather events and enhance their organisation’s resilience.
Designed in collaboration with local government, businesses, researchers and iwi, Resilience Explorer provides a consistent and leading information source of risk information that ensures your decisions are aligned with others in the community and based on the best available information.
Resilience Explorer goes beyond traditional static GIS viewers, offering an interactive and continually updated dashboard. We provide a curated evidence base for decision-makers, so you can focus on the decisions that matter.
Accessibility Explorer helps you decide where to live or build your next facility.
