Specialist earthquake engineers with a mission to raise risk consciousness and lift the levels of safety performance of major buildings and structures.
Save more lives by pro-actively leading the building & construction industry in reminding them how to raise risk consciousness and appropriately address those risks.
Active in promoting the outcomes of the Southwest Pacific Earthquake Resilience Workshop, Aug 2011.
Membership of New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering.

SWPERW Initiative 4: develop South Pacific Standards forum to facilitate creation and maintenance of locally appropriate design standards for use by infrastructure designers (e.g. for structural engineering design for earthquake and wind events).
SWPERW Initiative 7: appropriate development and land use planning.
Experience in development and implementation of Building Safety Evaluation systems for use after a significant earthquake (Indonesia, New Zealand).

SWERW Initiative 6: capacity building and development of legislative framework for strengthening disaster response of local communities and engineering/local government sectors (e.g. including community based training, risk evaluation and planning, urban search and rescue, building safety evaluations).
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
