Earthquake risk (prone) buildings
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1996 Recent completion of the Earthquake Risk (Prone) survey of unreinforced masonry buildings in the Gisborne District provides an opportunity to review the results achieved and, bearing in mind the re-draft of the Red Book, reflect on observed behaviour of local buildings in two "moderate" or close to "moderate" earthquakes.

"Are People Insured Against Natural Disasters? Evidence from the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake in 1995" [PDF]
We investigate whether people were insured against unexpected losses caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) earthquake in 1995. The unique household data employed led to several empirical findings under a natural-experimental situation.
