ISBN: 978 0 478 37630 2 Published July 2012 Prepared by Michael Goldsmith, Manager Natural Hazards, Otago Regional Council Community vulnerability to elevated sea level and coastal tsunami events in Otago i Executive summary The Otago coastline extends 480km from Chaslands in the south to the mouth of the Waitaki River in the north. Approximately 124,000 people (64% of Otago’s population) live within five kilometres of this coastline. A number of the communities situated along the coast have a level of hazard exposure to elevated sea level (or storm surge) and tsunami events. This report assesses the vulnerability (rather than the risk) 1 of these coastal communities to these hazards. The report draws on tsunami and storm surge modelling undertaken by National Institute of Water and Atmosphere (NIWA) for the Otago Regional Council (ORC) in 2007/08, coastal topography data and local knowledge of each community. This information has been used to assess how people and the communities in which they live would be affected during credible, high magnitude tsunami and elevated sea level events. It is intended that this information will: • increase community awareness of elevated sea level and tsunami hazard • inform decision making on the development of warning systems and evacuation plans • assist with the selection of land-use planning and development controls • increase the resilience of infrastructure and utilities (‘lifelines’). Community vulnerability to the following three scenarios has been assessed in some detail: a 1:500-year elevated sea level event, a 1:500-year far-field (South American) tsunami event and a 1:600-year near-field (Puysegur Trench) tsunami. The vulnerability of each community to lower magnitude, higher frequency events has also been assessed. The impact of events that have a higher probability of occurring is, in many cases, only marginally smaller than the three high magnitude scenarios outlined above. Therefore, many coastal communities have a level of exposure to elevated sea level and tsunami events that are likely to occur frequently. Several communities investigated in this report are situated on low-lying land that is afforded a degree of protection from coastal dune systems, flood banks or sea walls. Cross section profiles and topographic data show that a breach or failure of these protective features during an elevated sea level or tsunami event could lead to widespread inundation of these areas. The lower Clutha Delta and South Dunedin areas are particularly vulnerable in this respect. This report does not assess the likelihood of those protective features failing, but highlights the important part they play in mitigating the risk. Other communities, such as Pounawea, Toko Mouth, Taieri Mouth, Long Beach, Karitane and Kakanui, also have a high degree of exposure to elevated sea level and tsunami events because of their low-lying nature and their proximity to the coast or river mouths. The level of vulnerability for each community is dependent, in part, on the amount of warning time before a tsunami arrives. In many cases, the time between a near-field earthquake (such as the modelled event for the Puysegur Trench) occurring, and the resulting tsunami affecting the coast, may be less than two hours. Remote communities 1 See Glossary (at back) for the definition of ‘vulnerability’, ‘risk’ and other terms used in this report. ii Community vulnerability to elevated sea level and coastal tsunami events in Otago with limited communication links may be particularly at risk from these types of event if evacuation is the primary risk mitigation measure. In summary, this report describes the varying degrees of vulnerability to elevated sea level and tsunami hazard along the Otago coastline.

  • Flood Mitigation and Sea Level Rise Adaptation for Kiawah Island: a Report
    Flood Mitigation and Sea Level Rise Adaptation for Kiawah Island: A Report Story and photographs by Jack Kotz unny day or nuisance flooding is a relatively new term for most of us. As we described in the Winter/Spring 2018 issue of Naturally Kiawah, it refers to temporary flooding of low-lying areas in the absence of any precipitation or storm impacts, usually occurring during new or full moons. The higher than usual tides during these lunar periods are called “spring Stides.” Several times a year, when the new or full moon is closest to the Earth (at its perigee), the gravitational force is even greater. This causes a “king tide” or a “perigean spring tide” that often results in nuisance flooding. 16 The problem for Charleston and other coastal cities, as annual flooding. He estimates that in the next 50 years flooding well as Kiawah Island, is that the number of nuisance floods will be experienced by 15 percent of the buildings in the area. is increasing. In the 1970s there were only about two days On Kiawah, we experienced 16–20 inches of rainfall over a each year with nuisance floods in Charleston, whereas in 2015 four-day period in the 2015 rain event, and at least 42 percent Charleston had 38 days of tidal flooding, and in 2016 there of the land area of the Island was flooded. During Hurricane were 50 days of flooding. It is predicted there could be as Matthew in 2016, the storm tide was 3.5 feet above MHHW many as 180 days of flooding per year in the 2040s.

  • Presidents Report
    Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust, Inc President’s Report 2013 I am pleased to present my fourth annual report for the Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust. In the year just past the focus continued to be on the 150th celebrations marking the discovery of gold in Cromwell and elsewhere in the region. A New Generation Honours the Past One of the lasting memories of the gold 150 celebrations will be part played by the schools in our region. All schools took as their main theme for the year a remembrance of gold rush times and most children will have had the opportunity to pan for gold. The Trust has had a mobile gold panning set up which has been taken from school to school and while the “gold” might have been gold painted lead shot this doesn’t seem to have deterred the amateur sleuths. One of the Trust’s aims this past year has been to link today’s children with the events of the past. We are fortunate in Otago that there are still strong linkages with the land and its people and our wish is that today’s children and their parents will want to keep these memories alive into the future. To that end we were kept quite busy in the week immediately following the Cavalcade where we had involvement with 3 Schools visiting the Cromwell area and we were able to take them on guided walks, do some panning and provide information. We are very fortunate to have within our members such knowledgeable characters who we can call upon to interact with groups.
